New Speedster Front Sway Bar

I thought I had fixed about everything on the Speedster, but you don't have to look very hard to find something else!

Several weeks ago there was some conversation about the EMPI front sway bar hitting the locking nut on the trailing arms. After replacing the bushings I'm having the same problem.

The EMPI bar is a "Rube Goldberg" contraption. I'm working a new design that is somewhat like the original Porsche bar. I will be using 5/8" 4130 for the actual bar. It will attach to the lower beam tube with 2 welded in place mounts for the bushings. The bottom of the bushing and mount will only be 1 3/4" below the tube.

This bar will be more simple than the Spyder bar I built a few years back. No milled aluminum parts. I'm going to borrow DannyP's idea and weld the arms to the bar.

Material is here and I have begun to mill the parts. Full drawings and description will be made available.

Stay tuned.
