    Default HOW TO: Fit a secondary rear ARB on a Nova beam

    I've done this mod before on my Tigra and Corsa and its made a big difference in handling but since the Nova beam is narrower I've never had a chance to fit one till I came up with this idea.

    Started off with a bare Cavalier rear ARB, then drilled a hole in both ends and bought the following:

    2x M12 Bolts and washers
    4x Nylon washers with 13mm ID
    2x Universal poly bushes and clamps
    2x 76mm exhaust clamps

    I welded the bolts onto the beam and fitted everything is similar style to a whilteline item:

    Yeah but car hasn't got an engine so haven't had a chance to test it yet.
