    Duh, RWD project, of course no shaft issues! Haha. I guess the concern is you end up with too much caster to put the wheel in the middle of the arch.

    And have you attached it with clamps?
    Yeah that looks like the one. It's the same fitment as a mk2 Astra ARB. I've welded some captive nuts in box section along where it was reqiuired to bolt at either end, no support required in the middle

    As Iain says my only worry would be too much castor, I've run 4 degrees and the thing steers itself and corrects itself when you loose the rear (bonus)

    Not sure how much would be too much!!

    I don't think we use much past 5 degrees but again that's due to space constraints.

    Be interesting to see how this works out.

    Stock Nissan S14s (what I'm running) have c6-7deg castor as stock I believe. Like you said - will be interesting to see where I can end up!

    Some great work!

    Would love a proper rear ARB for my Nova without the need for all the modification & and the price of a H&R item

    Cavalier one is bolt on using universal clamps and brackets, I've got one on my spare beam if you want photos for inspiration - PM me your number if you want a few pics.

    Could I have a few pics of the setup please Iain, have thought about adding another rear anti roll bar if it’s not so good on the back end

    Which Cav is the ARB from?

    I always thought they had to be modded to fit, never new they were direct with some choice clamps!

    I think it's a mk3?? I think some people modified the end brackets, drilled, welded etc, but yes that's the original end clamp+bush, half clipped over the edge and secured with a small bolt.

    It's copyrighted though, so you owe me if you do it too.
