Advice needed (antiroll bar mount) - Fixed now
jnoshea:
--- Quote from: "birdy" ---was told by my mot man if anti roll bars are factory fitted
they need to be on for a mot

Yes, this seems to be the general opinion now. That means I have to fix the bracket, especially as the MOT tester knows that the disco had ARBs because he failed it. I might be able to make a metal spacer plate to compensate for the distance the bracket has been pushed up. I've exhausted trying to bend it back into shape.

birdy:
you could use a thin tow bar spacer!

I can't visualise what you mean, so I might be way out on this one, but it's not the antiroll bar becoming inverted is it?
jnoshea:
Wish I had a photo but I haven't. Basically, the bracket welded to the chasis that the ARB mounts to has been hit from underneath by a rock probably. This has bent it upwards by about 1 cm and because it starts out life as a parallellogram the mounting plate has moved backwards as it was squashed. It hasn't become inverted.
Birdy, I like your idea for the spacer.
