[Tigers] Tiger Rear Sway bar

[Michael Wood]

If you guys are going to put Panhard bars back on, I'd suggest getting one of Tom Hall's kits which helps with the bar angle and addresses mount area issues.

On a slightly different note, my Tiger is missing the panhard bar and mounting bracket. I've looked off and on for several years and never found one. I know I can get a reinforced bracket that welds in, but don't run my car hard and prefer "factory". If anyone has a bar and bracket laying around and wants to sell, or if I could get pictures and measurements of both so I could replicate them, please email me off list. I have a Mk1 with the bracket on the right side. Thanks guys.

I don’t know about “total grip capability,” but you have seen my dad drive his Tiger with the rear sway bar and it works great.  I’ve driven and autocrossed Tigers that are set up properly with or without the rear sway bar and they both handle great but different.  A good driver can adjust to the differences and take advantages of the differences, but I doubt one is much faster than the other.  It’s possible that one could be faster than the other depending on the type of course, but it would be fractions of a second based on my autocross experiences.

Like said, any rear bar on a Tiger is an aftermarket solution...and I've yet to see one (not counting custom fabricated with heim joints, correct angles, adjustability etc used in conjunction with front end improvements) that made any sense or was additive to total grip capability.

Was a rear sway bar originally fitted on the Tiger or was it a LAT option or not?  Size, mounting points? Either way could someone post some pictures of how they were suppose to be mounted and installed?

 

Thanks
