    X eng deflex kit

    Righto, Drew at Hiline4wd has been in contact with Rovacraft about these for me and looks to have a price of $600ish landed in aus via sea freight,

    X-eng High Performance Off-Road Engineering

    The price may vary a little according to the dollar at the time

    But far cheaper than the $800+ landed direct from x eng

    Cheers,
    Can't answer that one sorry John, Andrew was thinking the same about making something till I quizzed him about getting them in

    looks like a good bit of gear.

    Just want to clarify if you do not have the factory sway bars then you need to change axles housing and make mounts on the chassis. correct?
    I rule!!!

    Yea, I'd say yes, I've never paid enough attention to see which rover chassis had the flat plates to mount the sway bar, but if you don't have the diff mounts, you can buy them from 'ere

    055 o s Rear anti roll bar bracket

    Which I'll also be making a large buy from, so Myself and Vern can attempt to build a couple of front salisbury's

    I'd suggest you'd have to lower it to clear the tank with longer bolts and spacers, whether that's a good idea would depend on the driving you do, good for a tourer, not so much for a play thing I'd be thinking

    for your interest my 110 extreme 2002 doesnt have sway bars but does have the mounts front and rear on the chassis..

    and just checked the rear axle (rover type) and it has the bracketry on there already..

    Thanks

    For the stupid questions. Is it for use on front, rear or both?

    That price is for one end, I assume with confidence?

    LOL, I sat down and designed one years ago with a sliding/locking spline on one end but the X-Eng one is much simpler and therefore better
    Actually his is much, much better, it's real, mine never got off the drawing board.

    I reckon it's too stiff for the rear only though, it'd make things really taily for most Landies, you'd need one up front for balance but it's probably about right for a heavily loaded 130.

    BTW, look under the back end of a GQ Ti spec Patrol wagon and they used a disconnecting drop link on the rear ARB with a cable and lever under the dash so you could lock/unlock on the move.
    Worked well
