Anti-roll bar

[1134]

Does anyone know if there is an anti-roll bar off another car that could be modded to fit a k10?

some K10's had anti roll bars, they were fitted as standard to 1.2 models and as an optional extra on some 1.0's, if yours is a 88 you should have the mounting holes already present in the suspension links its just as case of finding one and bolting it in place.

I was also thinking about front strut tower braces and was wondering how much room is there between the top of the air cleaner housing and the hood when the hood is closed?

only one way to find out. put your head in there and shut the bonnet..lol.. thats a joke btw, dont actually do it. there's plenty of room for a strut brace, plenty of people have already done this mod on the K10.

I bought mine from Japan! £130 or so it ended up being, probably the best mod i've made, however just finding out its not made of stainless steel grr will treat that later

i seem to remember someone had redrilled a K11 strut brace and fitted it to a K10 aswell? I might still have some autocad drawings with dimensions for a custom one somewhere aswell. not sure though. will have a look tommorow.

I heard somewhere that the strut braces with hinges on either side weren't as good as the totally solid ones. Does anyone know if this is true or not?

I guess if the hinge is V.tight then it will fit to a veriety of angles of struts but since there is no play in the hinge the performance shouldnt be significantly different from a fully rigid one....

However i can immagine over time the hinge jonts may wear and create a certain degree of free play and therefore reducing the effectveness of the brace over time?

 

[Fordy]

is there any chance of doing a group buy beginning of next year for front and back strut braces?

 

[SammoHung]

I'm In !!! vas costet das?...for 1 front and 1 back??

 

[Arnold]
