Whoaa! Awesome.

That torque twist could be interesting on a side slope!

[wildwood]

Just love that..... Those 44s suit it fine......


So??? Next ? Anti roll bars

[bisleywrangler]

That's in 2wd low so the roll is exaggerated a little. I think I'll fit some antiroll bars for road use though, it really was a little disconcerting sat in it. Funny though hahaha

Just discovered that Ruffstuff do some epic anti roll bar systems......spendy though....

But I find them useful to look and copy

[bisleywrangler]

I've been looking at the currie antirock. Pricey as well. I was thinking I could just use a some torsion bars from a vw in some form or other.

My other more complex option would be to link the front right and rear left together and front left and rear right,  so each connected pair rise and fall together. Greatly reducing roll and pitch but not affecting articulation.

I was thinking that all this splined stuff is bound to be spendy but back in the day anti roll bars were a straight with 90 degree bends on the end ...... I suppose that the effectiveness of the system can be controlled by the length of the 90degree bends and the thickness of the solid rod.
It's all cheap stuff from the steel stockist. Maybe a few goes might. Be needed at getting it right but at only a few £ a metre it's worth a go.

The rear is also torsion but has splines

Awesome!!! Totally road legal I reckon! ;-)

Did you make the wheel arches?

I never realised the beetle was like that! That would be a lot easier than getting a spline put in something.

Yeah I got them laser cut out, folded them up and welded all the folds together. They are a bit rough in the flesh but will do until I get round to the cage.
