I still don't see how a sway bar works.

Where would this fix to?

Hello Master
They certainly do work,the 10mm bar on the back of the KB10 was great.
Did'nt i take a photo of mine?
In simple terms,the loaded side(leaning)pushes up draging the other side with it effectivly pulling the body down on the un loaded side,thus causing the whole rear to remain flatter

Brent is this stuff you have got off ebay? Thats a pretty good collection. Im chasing a rear sway bar as well. Cheers

The boys said i should have made a jig.I scoffed and said,who would want a KB10 rear bar

yea, ok dude, if you really don't want that gear, post it over.. I'll take it... :D

Hello Bert!

Yeah can to take a picture of it all connected, that'd help me undertsand how it works.

If it fixes to the suspension and then to the body wouldn't it foul the whole function of suspension?

ianey the sway bar is made by whiteline it looks old so i dont know if they are even made anymore
and im not even 100% wether its for a 1k i was told it was and the guy gave it to me for free so i wasnt really complaining

I WANT THAT GX MANIFOLD!

Try my albumn Chris

Bert do you know what sway bars are made from?

If I got hold of the correct material and bent up a bar using Brents as a template would it work?

Cheers

AWWWWWWW! You always get the goodies! why don't you share?

I was just about to start making a rear swaybar for my B10........

Hey Bert............ you wouldn't want to make me one would you???? or a couple for the matter?

Are they made out of mild steel?

Sway bars are made from Spring Steel.
Purchase a length(min.2 metres)from Kings or someone similar.
Make yourself a pattern,i normally use heavy welding wire as it's easy to shape.
With an oxy heat your spring steel stock and gradually bend to the shape of your wire pattern,a good vice,gloves,vice grips and another person to assist and hold things also helps in the bending process,you must also heat the "outside" of your bend to avoid cracking the stock.
This all takes a bit of practice,but is very rewarding.
Once you have your shape and it fits where you want it to go,make up your end plates,i normally use 3mm plate with a series of holes for adjustability and "tuning" for more/less stiffness.
Now you have finished,take the bar back to Kings or a spring works and have them heat treat the unit in the oven.

Thats about it for the bar,now just make up your links to go between the bar and the Chassis,a spherical or rose joint at either end is highly desirable.
Cheers

Bert what about the tramp rods on your kb10? How essential are they if you want to go racing?

Also, what thickness do you recommend for a front sway bar?

just took it out and sat it in place on my vb10 fits perfect
