i like that manifold m8.... .....how is the rest of the car coming on...?

[aled rs2000]

fitted front suspension and the struts are about 2 inches to far forward! doesn't look that the twin cam anti roll bar will do the job! Picking monte carlo calipers, disks and Grp 4 alloy hubs tomorrow!

Twink roll bar is the kiddie, says as much in the blue bible. Gives you more castor and therefore less understeer

There's something amiss there, as far as I've read it, Aled's problem was that the struts were too far forward, irrespective of the roll bar.

I used a Mk1 RSII bar on my Sport, worked spot on.

Don't know how Aled has verified his is from a Twink

[aled rs2000]

Been talking with mark solloway from historic rally sport today! twin cam anti roll bar does not fit with out modifing your arches, said it pulls the struts 2 inches forward for better castor! Had a new rs anti roll bar now

Ooops!, made a boo boo, as I said I had a Mk1 RSII bar on my Sport, and this worked a treat.

Here a Copy from the blue bible:


4.9. DOUBLE ANTI-ROLL BAR MOUNTS
To stop those expensive McPherson units flapping in the breeze, a
production Mk I Mexico/RS2000 anti-roll bar, finis code 905 2549 (this
is a mainstream part, not an RS part, ie, you can ask any Ford Dealer
to order you one) should be clamped to the body via the RS Parts twin
roll bar mounting kit, finis code 905 1304. These really do need to be
beefed up because they provide the fore and aft location of the front
struts as well as acting as the anti-roll bar mount. If the standard
brackets are used, you'll find the constant pounding and dropping wheels
into holes on the inside of corners will squash out the standard rubber.
The bracket then bends with the resulting loads, and the tracking changes
at will.
