Mocked up the mounts, I decided to make provision for a 1 1/8" hollow bar as well as 1" solid. The strut rod clears at full bump, and there is good clearance through the K frame. Chassis rail repairs continue...

Hi to all from NZ. Does anyone have any experience with ARBs on a Valiant Charger? I'm in the process of rebuilding the front end of mine, chassis rail rust and the like. I have a factory ARB, all 22mm of it (sorry, 7/8" to the majority) This is a 6 cylinder car, so quite light. I want to...

It's a VH Valiant Charger, Aussie assembled, US designed. It is carrying the 770 badging at the back, hence the padded vinyl quarters and doors. Wheelbase is only 105 inches, based on the A body, but with a bit of B thrown in too.
