So the spitfire ARB will fit the car with no problem (using rose joint drop links). Question is how will the 7/8ths bar will make the car feel? Car is a vixen 2500 (vixen not M frame). Do folks put rear has on these cars?

Car is used for fast road use not a race car.

Also with the larger bar and solid mounts will this be to much for the frame?


Thoughts?

The spitfire bar I have when held up looks to be an exact match. How do your spitfire bars differ ?

I looked at this issue for my car some time ago and I was unable to find a spitty or herald ARB that fitted (series 1). The Spittys and Heralds use the same ARB as far as I can tell (same part number on RImmers website) . The one for the Series one appears to be custom. I have the correct measurements now and will be getting a new one made up.
