Henry Webster:
I like these.

Sumo Bars as supplied by QT and Tomcat.  See dealer list here

Dan Bars are another option.

Both are good products.  Slightly different solution to the same problem.

Wolfie:
Another option is the bars now being made by Neil Meredith of Green Oval (and usual co-driver to James Webb on BORC events), no web link but email neilmeredith@hotmail.com.

I'll be able to comment more about them after the weekend as I have just fitted a set to Mathilda.

Regards

Wolfie

i had the same on my disco...the bar was bent downwards..... some gentle tickling with the trolly jack and its back inline now. used a straight bar on it and seems almost straight again  :roll:  no more scrubbing of the tyres now  :wink:

Mine has a nice 'S' shape in it - even an 8ft scaffold bar won't straighten it enough to stop the tyres scrubbing, so I have to bite the bullet and replace it........currently checking out Dan's, Sumo's etc !

SUMO bar comes recommended. I can jack mine up on the bar.........
I mangled a stock landy part and a paddock part before that, this one is cool.

Buy new rod ends, cos by the time you have beaten on them to get em out the hubs, then found they are siezed into the old rod, you can just smile, take the 9" grinder to the old bar so it goes in the bin, and fit two new shiny clean items........
