Decided to replace the front suspension today. Removed the spring etc and found that the anti roll bar linking bracket has snapped. Does anyone have a spare arm.

Regards

There were some brand new ones on eBay last week from bl-direct. Think you will find this is Peter Howells (www.ldparts.co.uk) although he doesn't have them on his website. They were 'buy-it-now' for just over 20 notes each. May be worth giving him a ring. They would be better than buying unknown s/h ones.

Thanks for the feedback everyone. I have emailed LD Parts and Seb from the SOC so hopefully they can help.

If not I will try to fabricated a new one from mild steel and weld in on. I have to take the car to Ely on Saturday, there's nothing like a little bit of pressure.

Having had one of these break on me whilst driving, fortunately, not that fast, I would not bother with a repair and would change both at the earliest opportunity.

Thanks, Bob.

Knew it was one of the suppliers under a different name. I guess there is a reason for the disguise. 'mrewloe' being Paddocks, for example.

Thanks guys for all the advice. I phoned Stuart at SOC this morning and he has guranteed delivery of all the parts required by Wednesday.

I sent a copy of this photo to Rimmers as the damper that came out of the car was totally different to the one they sent me. "Sorry mate, never seen one like that before, it's definately not Stag". Sent the same picture to Stuart who immediately identified it as Stag MKI.

I know where I'm shopping in future.
