Does anyone in Melbourne have a set of swaybars for a classic that I could borrow later this year.

I only need to borrows them so you can get them back. I have to get my ute engineered and it will have to pass some vigorous cornering tests so the tighter I can have it the better.

It would probably pass without swaybars but I just want to make things as easy as possible.

thanks

I'm in Brisbane and have a few sets. I know you said Melbourne, but just in case no-one has some down there.

Thanks Guy, but think the courier costs would be fairly expensive.

Nice lot of vehicles you have. Rangie and Alfa, the perfect combination.:D

Once I finish the Rangie ute I would really like to get an Alfa 1750 GT as my next project, if I can find one cheap enough.

I have some after market ones for a Rangie sitting around. Not sure whether they bolt into the standard Rangie positions though.

What do you mean? Are they made for the Rangie Classic? Why would you think they dont bolt stright on?

If you are in Melbourne I would love to try them. Could you PM me where you are.

thanks

I have a rear that was on my rangie when i bought it in '94 plus a set of aftermarket bars that i dont know how they fit - could be missing parts but otherwise arent being used.

No classic rangie had sway bars, from the Solihull factory that I'm aware off, they had bits of angle bolted to the chassis, the brackets are still on mine and some tabs bolted to the radius arm bolts, but I junked mine in a scrap run along with a few other sets I had, sorry

What about just heavy ass springs?

92 to 95 Vogue/ Vogue se Classic EAS got them.

I had the factory brackets etc on mine.

Never wrecked or owned anything later than 89, except for the P38, so that explains my ignorance?.........maybe not:D

They were on a classic and they are heavy duty type. It is just that the classic they were on did not get manufactured with sway bars. So I am unsure whether they will bolt up to the sway bar mount points that may have been fitted at the factory.

I fitted sway bars from either a later RR or a Disco to my '86 Rangie. I think I welded on brackets that I copied from the RR or D1. It was a while ago. I was fitting a D1 rear end at the time (it had a MaxiDrive in it).

As JC said 92 on EAS classics have factory sway bars. My 92 vogue has em and it is the best handling classic I have ever driven.
