If you were doing it that way you maybe able to modify an anti roll bar off of one of the modern citroen rear torsion bar axles as thats how the anti roll bars are fitted on them.

I saw a pic of an Anti-roll bar that savoiacars.com have done, inside the tube. They use a star shaped socket type fitting on a straight bar, I did wonder how much force, or use, it would take b4 it shredded the joint.

There is a company here in OZ that can make Anti-Roll bars, i just need to give them the dimensions and they can make it up, mounts and all, I will use the same diameter as the front bar.

Joolz,
apologies, but I've stumbled across this response to a question about possible differences between mild steel and spring steel.

Guess l'll stumble off to sleep now and face any consequences of this post later...

"I recall a definition of a pea as being an object which, if you had 28 quadrillion of them, would cover the earth to a depth of two feet. Your project seems to be of the type that creates such definitions. Spring steel provides a function, it springs. Whether that functionality is essential, optional, troublesome, or unacceptable to a thingy is, at best, difficult to speculate about."

( p.s. Doesn't mild steel have a lower yield stress than spring steel, so would be much more prone to fatigue failure than spring steel? )

I found a pic that Pete from ABS posted on the Snails...

Sounds like the splines used on damn near any torsion bar...

'Splines' thats the word I was looking for Goes to show how much I know about rear torsion bars Guess it would work just fine then.

Here Harles. Where will you put the brake pipes?

Brakes are a false sense of security

Thats the one Viking, I think our man Jost took that pic correct?

I will go for the 'traditional' ami Super style bar;)

Cheers

as used on the suspension on my VW van with2000kg payload and the Shogun as well as many othet mid range comercial vehicles and 4x4s old VWs tanks etc

if anything that Savaloy chassis looks like the rear suspension would be locked solid thats quite a large dia bar, maybe it for that huge jeep/hummer thing they had planned

I'm afraid a standard swaybar won't fit on a normal 2cv... the bar comes in front of the axle, and there happens to be a body... so you would need to cut a fair bit out of there... (this is the empty box underneath de rear seats) a bar inside rear axle, will be the best solution.

see next pic. of my PU It has an original AMI rear bar and you can clearly see that its completely in front of the axle (between the yellow axle and grey support for PU bed is the black bar)


good luck with your search for a solution
