Ok, some bad news on this one, they have refabricated the delflex jiggers and they'll be around $700 landed, Drew has ordered 5 regardless, I'll still be definately getting one, it sounds as though the price has risen on them in the UK, something to do with not fitting all rovers, so anyhow, there whould be a few available, if your still interested, I'll earmark them for you
Ok how do i put my name down for one of these PM me please
Ok, for whom ever wants one, scream out now, there will be five here in the new year, 1 for myself, 1 for tony, Andrew has 1 for a customer, so 2 left, list you want one here, if there is more than 2 of you, we'll get another order underway
JohnR and Wisey110 still keen?

Thought I may bump this one up, Matt and I have fitted our deflex bars with mixed results.
So far Matt is going OK AFAIK
We had a little disaster with mine as the curved arm bent in under the chassis within 15KMS of use Mine had a deasent load on the tray when this happened.
I'll post the out come here for future reference.

Looks like I'm the first in the world to destroy one of their products I must weigh all this stuff I carry oneday
Here is the return email from today. I must say very good product back up.

We're impressed! When we ran the stress analysis on the system, it was one of the possible failure modes. We discounted it because it would require a standard land rover to be overloaded - and be cornering at an improbable speed. We just thought "it will never happen!".
Our prototype was fitted to a One Ton, 110 Doublecab filled with 1 ton of concrete slabs. We drove it for six months fully laden and tried our best to break it - but failed. X-Eng is based on a dairy farm in the south of England. Obviously we don't have anywhere near the space you have, but the tracks round the farm are a good testing ground for things like this being half way between on and off road.
Interesting truck by the way - we don't have much like it in the UK.
Anyway, what to do about it! In the short term, if you want it not to be an expensive paperweight, I would weld a gusset on the outside of the curved bar (facing away from the chassis) to stiffen it a bit. Like that it should be OK.
There are two possible solutions that we can implement. Since you do not appear to have the exhaust passing above the curved bar (which is why that bar is curved, to clear the exhaust) we could make you another straight bar with the correct hole patterns to be a drop-in replacement.
Alternatively, if you do need a curved bar, the strongest option is to make a laminate out of two pieces of 6mm plate joined together by the bolts which normally pass through the plate. A laminate sandwich is torsionally much stronger than a single plate the same combined thickness.
Obviously we'll make and ship this for free.
Has your friend suffered the same problem? If it's fitted to a more standard configuration truck, I'm confident that it will be OK (but happy to be proven wrong!).
Let me know what you prefer and we'll get on it straight away!
Kind regards,

I knew Simon would come through.
However - 1 ton (1.024 Tonne) in a 110 is a lot less than 1.5 Tonne in a 130 (or 120).
Our prototype was fitted to a One Ton, 110 Doublecab filled with 1 ton of concrete slabs. We drove it for six months fully laden and tried our best to break it - but failed.
So Tony - sounds like you get to claim the hardest working landie in the world (with an x-eng sway bar fitted).
