Sure, Mike. Make the lever arms on both ends with holes along their length so that the bar stiffness can be adjusted.

Will do. The ones I built for the truck are too long but I'm not sure what material to use for the long car?.
Obviously a flat bar of some description that won't bend or snap. I guess if I get that badly out of shape
neither shortcoming will count.

I have an anti roll bar here from a touring car that has built in cable adjustment for stiffness but one arm is
missing and I have no idea what the materials are.

Thanks Neil.

Mike;

The material is not too important, as long as it is steel. Chrome-moly, mild steel, etc doesn't change the stiffness for a given size. Depending on how far the bar is twisted will determine the stress and therefore the strength required. I'd suggest simply using mild steel tubing as it is lighter than a solid round bar of equal stiffness. The torsional stiffness is mostly determined by the material near the outer circumference of a round shape so a solid bar contributes little or no stiffness near its center. Tubing, on the other hand, has its material distributed at its outer edges already-- an ideal stiffness-to-weight ratio.

I'll find something Neil.

BTW, we have a drought here in SA and I live near a small river.
It hasn't been flowing much lately until yesterday. We had some rain!!!!.
Only two roads out of the neighbourhood and both cross the Jukskei River.
The small bridge is now gone.

   Swimming across is definitely out of the question, Mike, so you might as well stay home and drink beer. [I hope you stocked up].

Holy CRAP!

I hear the bridge is still there, it was just under water.
Stocked up with Cokes but man I could do with some Jerky!!

The flood got worse, people died and my post box got flooded.
This stuff happens. Been doing roof repairs, sippin Whiskey and
watching sports and not particularly in that order!!!.
BORED and the creative juices have dried up. I could go nuts and
do bad things but real men hang in there and SHUT UP.
The Marines had a birthday recently and my respect goes out the
fallen, injured and serving. I don't have a worry in the world.
To the "brothers". God Bless you for your valor.

Mike, watch out for snakes in unexpected places.  Those rascals slither up to high ground.

[tauruck]

Bo, I live with an asp.
My build is on hold but when I get going I'll be working from a better place.
How I miss my unit!!!!!!. At least there I knew my standing.

Mike just think in less than 6 weeks we get to turn a new page----2017 

[tauruck]

I wanna turn a new trick!!!!!!.

Going to get my wheels tomorrow.
Can't wait..

Just got offered a nice job to build a pro mod style drag car body for Kyle
so the piggy bank is kinda semi topped up.
Life's good and all I need for Thanksgiving is an American wife. Good old Southern Gal.

[SPARKY]

BEWARE some of them come with Jack Russel personalities!!!!!!!!!!!!

[tauruck]

I got my 8 wheels today. Another hurdle overcome.
I don't have a phone to take pics but hopefully will post in a few days.

[tauruck]

I should have a new phone by tomorrow hopefully so will be able to post
pics of progress.
