anyone fitted and if so what from and what dia. will a one from a later TiV work or Sierra

I'm looking at trackday connect and on road probably disconnect or at least trial and hopefully not error

I know these questions are too simplistic but need to obtain info before trying

Hi Mick,

Been looking at this for a bit now, was thinking of a Scorpio on to start with, will let you know if it fits.

That's on my "wouldn't it be nice if ..." list. If you find an easy solution, I hope you'll let us know.

Hi Mick
Just been down to the workshop to look into the rear anti rool bar, I was thinking of just using a front one as I think I can mount it at the back off the diff rear supports.


I think it would fit onto where the flat plate where the rear tank plate mounts to but on the inside.
Just an idea ast I don't know what the other TVR cars have.

The other cars have a completely different setup with twin wishbones at the rear, and a wishbone that is connected to the lower wishbone very close to the inner pivots where it has almost no leverage and tends to rip the mounts off.

If you have the ARB in the general region of rear trailing arm pivots with the arms back in the same direction as the trailing arms, it will probably be the easiest setup to install. But there will not be much scope for adjusting the rate since the wishbone arms and trailing arms will be moving in parallel.

That's the general sort of idea, although I guess you don't want to cut holes in the tub and I don't know how easy it will be to get it past the exhaust, prop shaft etc. Under the chassis would presumably be easiest if the exhaust will cooperate.

Hi All
Just stuck with a mounting point, been looking at various bars today, I don't think it will mount from the front side due to the shock tower, anybody any ideas on a later TVR bar or any pictures of how they are mounted.
