wg_mulholland Posted May 30, 2002 Share Posted May 30, 2002 Mine (the 3/8ths I think) was solid when I cut it open-don't ask- I was just interested (and wanted to calculate my roll stiffness!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Bees Posted May 30, 2002 Share Posted May 30, 2002 You ought to know Dave, you've broken enough of them... Betcha the Caterham ones are solid, any money you like. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Plato Posted May 30, 2002 Author Share Posted May 30, 2002 I have broken a few - one of which punctured my fuel tank !!!!! , thankfully ( and obviously ) for once I didnt have a fag in my gob , at least I havent got any paint that could get damaged in the fire ?? wink.gif . Trouble is the bars when they snap , they tend to be on the welds at the ends , so you cant actually tell if the bar is solid or full of weld . So the general opinion from here and the listers is they are solid ...... right I'm gonna do some calculations and I'm going into the ARB business teeth.gif. I only want a twiddly little one you see ( behave Barabara !! ) . Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scooby dooby doo Posted May 30, 2002 Share Posted May 30, 2002 i have a bent one (that also punctured my fuel tank) that didn't break at the end as i had it welded up properly before fitting. the welds only go on the outside and not the inside of the join so is a bit pathetic really.... anyway - if anybody wants to voulunteer to come round and attack it with a hack saw....

EFA Posted May 31, 2002 Share Posted May 31, 2002 They are all solid. (or at least all the overslung ones are and I don't think the design of the actual bar has changed) Fat Arn Visit the K2 RUM siteid=red> See the Lotus Seven Club 4 Counties Area Website hereid=green> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason Plato Posted May 31, 2002 Author Share Posted May 31, 2002 Many thanks for all your replies , I'm going into production next week with a one piece slide adjustable design plus of course drop links , underslung for the fitment of R500 wheels and using similar mounting points as the juno design . I'll let you know if it works ok . Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
