Talkwrench,

Fulcrum bought out Selby about a year ago. I missed out on several cheaper bars that were offered through ebay. Thinking that I could buy directly from Selby for much the same money. I wasn't aware that selby was being bought out. My bar came from Brisbane not Sydney. I'm sure after the merger.

I sent you directly the emails when I was  dealing with them. It may give you some leverage but after all we are a small part of the market. It's nice to buy local when you can.

There are other options. Makes me kind of glad I got mine when I did.

Good luck with it.

Warren 

I stocked front and rears for years, i still can get them, have some fronts due in 2 weeks.w00t

Paul, finding those wagon ones are as rare as rocking horse stuff around these parts.. Gone are the days where you might find one upturned in the bush..

Rick any suggestions?

56 wagons and Couriers(probably your Utes) all were built with a stiffer sway bar than your sedan.If you can find one of those bars,they make a huge difference in the handling.

Forget Quickor - they suck. I had to get the Oregon Attorney General after him after he wouldn't make good when he sent me the wrong one.



Southwest for sure.

Warren called Fulcrum, Nope couldn't help. He said they bought about a year ago and a lot of old stuff inc patterns never got handed over.

The 56 Sedans have a small one , just seems so small to be effective, I have fitted urathane bushes and it did make a difference.

Paul, your right you have to be careful going overboard, however I have found with all the cars Ive had and fitted heavier bars to , the benefits outweight the negatives on it. Lets face it if you knew exactly what springs and shock match etc etc you would hardly need anti swaybars, but how much money and time do you put into it?

I recently fitted the cheapie Addco ones to my Cuda [believe it or not was cheaper to send the heavier Addco ones to Australia than the lighter tube style??], I didnt go overboard with the rear one and I have to say its the best money Ive spent. It goes like a kart! But as Paul said its very rigid now and you have to be careful on high speed rough corners.. BUT any other corners its not a wollowing whale.

I just didnt think it would be so hard ot find one for a 56 sedan, but with everthing else you can get, geez??!!

Paul,

   I'm pretty sure the "Anti-Roll" bar folks will be able to give him advice on the correct sizes. I don't know if the '56 had ANY bars from the factory, so medium or small diameter unit will make a significant improvement. Well that and good shocks.Smile
