Today was a car building day and the weather was nice so I was off down to my yard to tackle the next job on my 'to do' list.
Initially, when the Sabre was first launched, John Barlow who designed the Sabre, advised builders to thin down the ARB to make it less stiff by grinding a flat section, But these cars failed their MOT as it was deemed to be modified suspension which is not allowed. The next best thing is to fit a 24mm bar. Longer term I may fit compression struts but not before the IVA test.
The original 28mm bar above and the new 24mm bar below.

This required new bushes which I got from Superflex.

Following the Haynes Sierra manual, I swapped out the ARB.
