Mad120y, im getting some 22mm sway bars made up at the moment, for the sr20det kit im working on. They will be adjustable a clear the sr sump. The bars are still about 3 weeks away, so if you are interested let me know.

Cheers scott

True,bottle rental is a pain in the a--e,BOC know how to charge and always did,i personally choose to pay the succers on a monthly basis and return them at every opportunity as i use oxy/acc mig and argon so the bill can get out of hand if i don't keep a handle on it.
Having said that virtually everything for the 3 cars and a fourth 3/4 finished that have been built and prepared out of my shed on weekends and at night has been fabricated in house.
I reckon if i had had to pay others for thier services i believe i would of spent about the same as a block of flats in Sydney over the years as opposed to a small unit and i still own the gear.
To make this happen you also need an outstanding wife/partner and big dog to protect it all

Yeah, might have done it myself, except I got main job to do that doesn't give me a lot of 9to5 time to chase metal suppliers or make mistakes, or hot forge the bar ends..

Cost $180.
I supplied a standard 1200 bar, and told them to add an inch to the front, and make it 23mm.

Oxy set is a annual cost of $200-$300 in NSW for bottle rental. I'm a computer nerd who can't claim it on tax.

Chris,can i ask how much it cost to have the 23mm unit made up?Because if you don't already have one i suspect you have spent enough dough already to have bought an oxy set which is good forever and allows you to make all sorts of stuff in the future.

Thats right it's not rocket science,and you can make it fully adjustable with a couple of lengths of flat strap steel welded to the ends with a series of holes,this is the best method as drilling spring steel is like drilling diamonds,you kill a drill every couple of mm.

I have a CA18 in 1200, couldn't make the (non-stewart_wilkins) Whiteline (120Y effectively) swaybar fit on my setup.
$240 later, and 3 years later, still in the box I bought it.

Anyone with an A series in Sydney want it for $100? Similar to 120Y at 21mm...so I wouldn't recommend too many people jump on it.

You need to order the CA18 whiteline swaybar from SW last time I heard. Whiteline won't do the dodgy on his design.

I use a 23mm one made up elsewhere...

Thats a good idea,

I heard theres something called stress-proof or the like which doesnt have to be heat treated after bending. I think I read it in the competition setup guide on here.

It would be good to make your own like bert has said because you could use rod ends to link it to the lower arms and multi hole the sway bar for adjustment back and forth.

You fella's know sway bars are a piece of cake to make if you have the use of an oxy set and some basic fabrication skills?

You can buy the straight blank material from any spring making outlet(like King springs etc) carefully heat and bend to your shape and work out what ends you want to attatch it,make them and send it back to the spring works to have it heat treated for next to nothing.

You now have something to be proud of and satisfaction to go with it

Are you guys driving around with no swaybar at the moment??

I am, and its shocking... I have to get some type of swaybar happening

Im interested in this also, as the 1200 and 120y sway bars come close to the L-series sump. Pics next to a standard bar would be good.
