[DML] Re: Addco Rear Anti-Sway Bar for DeLorean??

["Toby Peterson" <Toby@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Rob - I have the Addco rear bar on Winged1.  Mine is one of the very 
early ones after the company decided to carry it.  The effect that is 
has on handling is awesome, BUT ... it will crack the frame as 
currently designed.  I have modified the installation significantly 
to lower the loads into the frame, and straighten out the 
attachments, but it still caused cracks on both sides under the 
engine.  I have added some 5/16" thick aluminum/magnesium plates to 
the frame for reinforcement, as well as welded up all the cracks that 
started before the plates were added.  I would not choose this bar 
for the foregoing reasons, as well as the fact that it cost 1 3/4" 
ground clearance as well.  Now, I can't say anything other than ... I 
have plans for a solution for this.  Progress will be based on the 
availability of time to sort out the design.
