These crazy cars of ours.. it appears another little piece fell into place (almost literally) on the Wartburg build tonite.
One thing bugging me about the Porsche front suspension is it was going to be narrower since we are mounting the a-arms to the Wartburg frame so the factory swaybar was way too wide.
So I've been holding a bunch of parts I picked up for Carzan from a local guy and he came to get them tonite. As we are loading up the parts I spy a swaybar and grab it for some quick eyeball engineering. It appears to be the right width, thickness and shape to fit perfectly with the stock porsche a-arm mounts when they are in their new spots. And its a lovely obscure piece so it was pure chance we found it. Carzan let me keep it (thanks Louis!) since I picked up all the parts for him and stored them for a bit.
So we can now add Triumph Herald as one of the donors to this project. Go figger.
FYI, if the Herald bar fits, then so should Spitfire/Vitesse/GT6 bars. Gives you a lot more donor options, if tuning is required.

Many thanks for that tip, tuning options will be appreciated when the time comes.
Right now it appears it should fit with little or no modification, but our front suspension is very theoretical right now so it remains to be proven.
man, that car just wants to be built.

Yeah, I think it's finding it's own parts these days.
