Yep that was what I was thinking

Better clean the wheel arches out and find something :shock:

some people weld something to the chassis and clip to it....others just use cable tie but it never lasts.......and they re-tie and re-tie and re-tie get the message.

Stew, a cable tie will hold for the time/day your offroad :shock:
Nowt wrong with welding a clip thats the best long term solution, but a cable tie cost only pennies and does the job perfectly

If you take a look at the front of the wheel arch, towards the top, you'll see that there's a a triangular metal sheet that's just behind the indicators, but on the inside, that's used to mount the wiring loom. This has a hole on the inside edge that's not used for anything so far as I can see.

You can either thread a zip tie through this hole and through your anti-roll bar, or you can do what I've done, which is to buy a stainless eye bolt and mount this through that hole, facing the wheel. Then just put a zip tie through the eye and through the hole at the end of your anti-roll bar.

Dead easy, and no drilling. You can get a suitable stainless eye bolt from a chandlers - there must be loads up your way due to the canal.

I can post piccies if you want them.

Got a stock of cable ties already
Thanks all for the input
Appreciated

Worth mentioning that it's best to move the anti-roll bar up as far as possible before securing with with a zip tie. That way you can be sure that your tyres won't touch it during articulation.

or you can try the Woody Deluxe Swaybay holding device. Get down to your local camping shop and and buy a length of the nylon webbing and 2 of the quick release plastic buckle (the type you find on rucksacks). With a little bit of sewing you will have made up 2 straps, all you need to do then is pop rivet or bolt it onto the bulkhead Mort described above. Will cost under a fiver, is quick to do up and release, no more fumbling trying to do up cable ties or cut them afterwards :shock:

If you want I can take photos of it.

what made you buy that style of disconnect rather than JKS ones ?

Personally I've never liked cable ties, not positive enough although loads of people use them. Be careful and check that on full lock with wheel stuffed right up in the arch that your muds don't rip the cable ties apart as they touch the sway bar.

Hi It was all part of my plan, Points noted about ripping the cable ties off tho

Woody · « **Reply #17 on:** October 30, 2005, 09:25:36 PM »

Mort

don't worry with my solution you still get to enjoy latex gloves. You should see the look on a newby Winch Bitches face after parking in the middle of nowhere and then you pull out the gloves :shock:

Woody

yeah Woody you scared me last Sunday with the latex gloves in the woods, it'd be ok if you had a toolkit in your hand not just your tool ....lol
