baccaruda Posted November 26, 2004 Share Posted November 26, 2004 from what i understand the rear one either requires special brackets, or swapped in EA82 control arms (w/ brackets) which in turn requires bending the rear bar a little. I just grabbed the rear control arms and sway bar (20mm!) from an XT6 i was cleaning out, for my brat.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qman Posted November 26, 2004 Share Posted November 26, 2004 The XT6 bar may be too stiff. I installed the bar off of a GL10 onto my Brat. I had to weld the brackets from the GL10's rear lower control arms onto the Brat's arms. You will also have to cut some off of the ends(both sides to keep it even) to fit between the backing plates.

baccaruda Posted November 26, 2004 Share Posted November 26, 2004 thanks Ken, I forgot about trimming the sides. I'll admit I've wondered about the stiffness of the 20mm bar on a lightweight Brat.. maybe I'll sell the 20mm bar and get a GL10 bar... I would rather put in EA82 rear control arms though as i don't have a welder.. does anyone know how much the bar needs to be bent? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qman Posted November 26, 2004 Share Posted November 26, 2004 I didn't have to bend mine. But I installed the brackets and welded them where they fit best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
