has anyone put aftermarket sway bars onto a HB? i've put one on the front of mine & managed to find one for the rear but it looks like it might be a bit of a shite to fit.
any pics if anyone has any would be great.

Hiya,
wow- its quiet on here!
Did fitting your front sway bar make a noticeable difference to handling?
Was there more road noise or less grip from the front end?
I must get around to fitting the front one I have.

yes front was easy, althought cause it was for a 6 cyl lc/lj torana i trimmed about 3/4 of an inch off the ends. i reckon it has made a difference to the drive. doesn't seem to have anywhere as much body roll now.
i even got a rear one to put on but it fouls on the handbrake bracket on the diff so i haven't put that on as yet.
NOTHING like what you have done to yours though!! love you write upon retro

AHHh right sorry was being daft, was wondering if it was anti tramp or roll bars... hence the question....
(no idea why one would want to fit a front anti tramp bar mind so should of worked it out myself)

One could fit a anti tramp bar to the front just for bragging rights at the Ace
