Just finished a revised version of the custom parts needed to switch to an over-boot FSB setup. We'll see how this approach works with the Gendron arms and rod ends.

Notched adapter plates and turn buckles for 3/8"-24 right-hand and left-hand rod ends:


The notch allows clearance for the plastic undertray:

 

NICE!!!

 

Guy has notified me that he has just received a new batch of zinc coated blades and that he will have swaybars available if anybody is looking for a Front Sway Bar. This is a perfect swaybar for autocross since you can make swaybar changes in between runs. Hell I was able to make swaybar changes at the El Toro Pro Solo by myself in line (staging lights)!

What is the adjustment range in lbs/in for both the single and dual blade bars?

 

Interested. What's the best way to contact him?

 

Best way for contact is through email as provided. My 1-3/8" dual blade ranges from 450i-950in lbs.

you might want to consider the effect of reducing weight on swaybar arms etc., lighter is not necessarily better

http://www.circletra...es/viewall.html

a similar principle applies to angling the endlinks, an advantage of the blade type arm; the more angle the less effective the applied wheel rate force and the more effective applying deflecting force on the swaybar arm and the control arm/suspension bushings instead.

a bronze pillowblock is not really the same as a sealed roller bearing mount on a variety of levels; friction/binding, slop as it wears, access of dirt/water to further impact both of the former

 

Do you know which method the rate you stated was calculated with, or how it compares to the common Gendron 1.25" hollow on 6/6?
Per the first page on this thread, the Gendron is rated at: 1016/904/1238, which is "Puhn/Rate at link/Rate after motion ratio".

 

Guy would be best to discuss this with. He tests his swaybars using a jig to measure the actual rates. For example, the rear blade bar that he made for me is rated between 90-240 lbs. The swaybar he is running has a higher range between 110-290. He measured 290 on his MY05 stock rear swaybar. This tells me you wont be able to fairly compare the Gendron and Ankeny bars as the measurements are taken differently. Be it by actually testing the rates or figuring it out mathmatically. Guy did mention to me that the Gendron bar he has tested at full stiff is similar to what his bar produces; however, i don't recall what kind of bar size that was.
