And here is another jewel from a new member.
There are few members who are as conversant with the technical side of the car, (13.8v as the norm). Those who think in voltages less than one are a great asset to the ‘bar.
Thank you.

I would second that, thank you.
A note on my shiny drop links; unless I’m having a “rough & tumble” with Cobber, my intentions on here is to provide inform that may help overcome a members problem, possibly by using an alternative route.
I assumed you were looking for an outcome & adjustable drop links, to increase tension in the network, might have overcome your difficulty.
I, like you, wished to fit an uprated anti-roll bar, which I couldn’t find at a price I was prepared to pay, the rose jointed link idea was my way forward.
Once all the projected alterations on my car are complete, I will address the suspension setup, maybe I’ll have to find an uprated bar to achieve a satisfactory results.

They don’t need to eat much when it’s a funnel web having a kip under the bog board. If it’s a dunny your in for & the buggers at the front, you’ve just dropped to great gooseberry shaped gonads right in their line of sight & their hungry & they look good for a bite.
“Can you point to where it bit you Mr Cobber” said the very pretty young, nurse after they rush you into ICU.
Just a thought.

I think you are correct with your 25mm, obviously this is going to increase the torsional stiffness & tame any wayward roll.
I looked into changing my standard bar to the uprated offering but couldn’t find one which was wallet compatible.
I had a collection of rose jointed rod end, enough to assemble a full set, which gave me a range of adjustments from standard upwards. I adjusted them buy the same degree, enough to make it obvious there was more tension in the system & subsequently forgot about them.
As expected there was a little less body roll (or was it psychosomatic),
It was quite a long time ago.
I look in on them when I’m in their area & they are still well & quite shiny.

Surely you’ll be wearing thongs & not walkabout footwear. Goodness knows what you might stand on or what arachnid or reptilian nightmare might take a fancy to a toe or two, with various poisonous delights you have over there, I’d be considering chain mail.
An addition to the tweeter topic & the wiring; the simplest way to wire a tweeter to a system is to use a capacitor. This device allows high frequencies to pass, attenuating the base. A better way would be to use a proper crossover, this is a network of capacitors, resistors & inductors. None of these complexities need worry you if you pop on ebay & for about eight quid you can buy a pair of reasonable looking units. The ones I’ve seen have terminal blocks, so there’s no need to solder.
Alternatively a single capacitor of about 4u7 50v will be fine.

It took me ages to get those chapter rings located properly & clearing the needles, particularly the water temperature. There was a lot of fitting, reassembly, stripping & starting again, to the point that having got it working properly I was taking the bloody thing to pieces again before it sunk in that it was working.
So removing the cover isn’t a problem unless you use a shovel.

It could be considerably worse, you might have heard Agga Doo (is that correct?) or Black Betty on the wireless. I had to look earworm songs up, I am NO expert.
Now that would really screw your day up.
I’m off to pick up a pair of rear light clusters l won on eBay. I was the only bidder & thus got them at the starting price.
I feel bad about it but it is an auction.
99p as you ask!

Ties & machinery is a match made in intensive care.
However a chap isn’t properly dressed without a tie, hence I wear a bow tie; you will scoff but be thankful it isn’t a cravat.

Am I correct in thinking that you have a donor car which is given up its vital organs for the preservation of No1 car. This grim offering then, I assume, is from the car late of this parish. A sort of Prince Harry car if that we’re to be the case.

Bruce could you outline the difference between a RHD kit & a LHD kit please?

Just get it near & give it a kick, it’ll go in, it’d probably go in if Cobber shouted at it.

Bra & panties! Pray, do you refer to a ladies foundation garments, my my, a chap should be paying attention to his own sartorial standards, ensuring his tie matches his handkerchief & not what the lady has adorned her nether regions.
Tut tut!
Well really, if you insist on me having a peep, but just one 👀.
