  • Anti roll bar

    I have just purchased a Marlin Roadster Hybrid, Triumph front end, Morris Marina rear end, having taken the car apart, i noticed that it did not have an Anti Roll Bar fitted, surely this can`t be right, any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    Anti-roll bars aren't required on small cars like the Marlin to keep the roll under control

        Because the hybrid Marlin has a live rear axle it doesn't really need an anti roll bar and because the chassis is 2 inches wider than the Triumph donor front end the original one from the donor wont fit any way.
        Ben Caswell probably not the last word on anything here!!

          Only the later Marina models had rear anti roll bars.
