[FC] Re: FC Front Anti-roll Bar - was (Lookiing for FC wheel rims)

 ??? Make your own. All you need is stress proof steel bar in the dia. that you want. It is easily bent on a pipe bender and the small bends can be done on a press. Then just go the the auto parts store and get the mounts of the correct size for the bar.

It seems that the FC borrowed all the front suspension parts from the 
full-sized Chevrolet except for the crossmember.  I assume that FC's have a 
narrower track but otherwise the essential geometry is the same.  The 
reason I ask is that I am looking into making a stiffer front anti-sway bar 
than what is offered by ADDCO.  They sell a 3/4" bar, but I am interested 
in making a 7/8" or 1" bar.?
