all the bits have turned up, i look forward to painting and fitting.

Do you have any other thoughts on stiffening the car up, dual front anti roll bars etc

Front duel arb's isn't something I can mass produce unfortunately. I do have other plans for stuff to help handling. It just depends on what I can come up with that I can mass produce fairly easily. I will post on here once I have come up with something.

Front duals are a bit awkward really. I've seen it done with normal drop links with the bottom cup ground off, and just packed out with extra bushes, then the middle mountings, using 2 on top of each other. Probably does help, but not a tidy solution!!

How about adjustable Panhard rods? I made mine fairly cheap with some threaded weld-in inserts (one LR, one RH), a "Jack Screw", and some 5/8" UNF nuts:

Yes I'll be offering adjustable panhard rods on an exchange basis soon. Once I have mine made and jigged. I will charge £25 extra to start with but on receiving your one I will refund the £25 back. Doing it this way will mean people won't have to have there car off the road. Simply swop them over and send your original one back to me so I can keep doing it.

Good idea! I'd go for one if I hadn't already made mine a few years ago!

Any thoughts on adjustable diff control arms? Think someone on TB makes them, or at least used to.

[Ml 1990 740 turbo]

That's also something I will look into. as well as a strengthened subframe that the control arms mount too. It's just getting the time at the minute, too busy making stuff for other people. But I will get around to it.
Have U tried your brace on yet? I'm surprised u haven't checked to see it clears the manifold

Fitted mine today, easy job. Haven't gone for a drive yet though. Sort of wish I had painted it red rather than dark green.
(I didn't have the perfect length bolts lying around, hence the stacks of washers on those two bolts - didn't want them poking through to a power steering hose or something)

[Ml 1990 740 turbo]

I think it looks good in green personally! Glad u fitted it correctly, I've had people fit the tri bars every possible wrong way.
The offer on the strut brace is always there if u decide u want to stick it on as well.

Do you have a rough idea of when you'll be making these again? As I'm hoping to hoard all the suspension components I need prior to installing them all.
