[Healeys] Anti-Sway Bar

[Curtis Arndt]

Josef,

Yes, you are correct, Bugeye's did not come from the factory with anti-sway
bars... HOWEVER, it was a common practice back in the 1950s to use a 1/2" -
BN1/2 sway-bar and then modify the Bugeye rear shock links to fit it to the
front end.  In fact it may have been a Factory Works racing modification,
but I cannot recall off the top of my head.

Bottom line, as I recall, this is an approved modification in Bugeye
Concours judging here in the USA and Canada.

I know of a time capsule racing Bugeye here in the USA, 10K original miles,
never restored, with most on the miles on the track that has one of these
anti-sway bar setups.

See attached photos.

Cheers,

Curt
