Um im a little confused - when trying to source bushes for my roll bars i have realised the drop links are missing & seem to have been replaced with angle iron bolted to the ends of the radius arms & there does not seem to be anywhere on the chassis for the drop links to connect to ????
1 - if i can source the bushes will it pass an mot like this or will it need the original type proper drop links ?
2 - can someone possibly let me know what vehicle these roll bars were originally fitted to so i can get the correct bushes ?
If not could one of you helpfull guys tell me what the adjustable rods on the ends of the roll bar are known as i have searched ebay for drop links & all it comes back with is ones that resemble track rod ends - i may have to go for a universal part but am unsure what they are called !
The closest main clamp bushes i can find that look similar is a range rover p38 - is it possible that they are p38 roll bars & brackets ?
as you can see from the piccies the bushes need doing on the adjustable rods bolted to the end of the roll bar too but i have no idea what vehicle they came from .

please help me someone as im really stuck here & will need to do these for the mot
thanks in advance

I come across these earlier which will sort the main bush problem ( bit pricey i know but if it sorts it they will be purchased ) and according to my measurements they will fit !
The only other problem is the adjustable drop links on the ends as im getting bored of searching & getting nowhere - Have none of you ever come across this before ?
If i knew theyre proper name i might have more luck so please chaps try n help me out here

they look like threaded bar with shocker bushes google 552818

will grab some of those & measure the threaded bar - great help m8 thanks
any ideas how i could reduce the cost of the main bushes or shall i just go with the ones from ebay which i posted the linky to ?
37 quid is a little steep dont ya think ?
thanks again james much appreciated

a lot of peeps just remove the ARB

obviously its a home made set up ,but might be worth googling ntc6828 and ntc6776

cheers very much thats a bargain as i already have a set of new bushes for the main clamps so will just need the clamps themselves - saved me a few quid there james fair play,
found these a minute ago & my mate has a shogun i can jump under and measure so im hoping they are the same length. Problem solved !

it is a home made set up but they are exactly the same on the back ??
weird !!!

Looks to me that when someone lifted it, they realised the ARB wouldn't properly accomodate the lift, so made these up .. the normal ARB link looks to be quite a bit shorter than this threaded rod.

Personally, I just took the ARB's off .. they need to be replaced at MOT time ...

are they not range rover arb's as the disco one looks alot different then that. the fitting on the front looks completely different

here is how it should bolt in. The drop links won't mate up to the bar you have fitted
