Hi MDK, I'm looking at your swaybar bolts and I'm trying to figure out how they come apart with only one spanner? Can you give me some more details on this please? I also have a lathe so might knock myself up a set

Cheers,

Dave.

12mm nut on the end comes off. Pin stays on axle. Link comes off.

Basically a 10.9 16mm bolt. Screw on a half nut so it binds up on the straight shank on the bolt. Then turn the shank down to 12mm slightly facing off the nut then thread the end for 12mm nut with a slight tapered in the end. Link inner sleeve is clamped in place same as would be with a normal bolt setup.

If you didn't want to drill or tap out the mount plate could start with 20mm bolt and just turn 12mm threads on ends and leave a shoulder to sandwich the plate instead of the half nut.

Ah gotcha...

Grabbed some pics, looking from next to the front right wheel towards the front;



And from in front of that wheel looking back, swaybar visible below mount (currently not disco'd of course)
