    Ok so you've read the steering rack/pump story now here's the roll bar one.............

    I had a look around to see if H&R or any other suspension people did a roll bar kit
    but again it seemed only Fiorano/Challenge was the answer.
    After some chasing around it seems alot of the roll bars listed everywhere are in the 15X part number range
    where as the Fiorano items are 17x - this was also a bit confusing but the 17x are definatley
    an upgrade.

    Anyway ordered the front and rear bars as felt the car really needed the extra.....

    I then started looking into the replacement bushes, original F items are mega expensive
    (really stupid money for rubber bushes)
    so plan was to get some made from a poly bush company as only the bar diameter
    is larger of course, or alternatively fit universal ones or something equiv from another car
    (the poly bush company can match to close alternatives to what you have).

    So you may think this is being mean but a set of 4 bushes would have been approx $1290

    We then found some universal rear bushes which with a modified bracket were perfect $40 all in,
    front proved to be a bit more difficult then some new unused ones came up at the right money
    and was keen to get the car back on the road, job done.

    So took the car for a drive, awesome, felt the difference on the first corner
    what a great upgrade really pleased with the improvement.

    The original bushes are now being replicated by the poly bush company along with a larger
    diameter version for the Fiorano bars (front and rear)

    Part numbers and piccys to follow.....................
