I have a full set of Disco 300 ARB's.

Heavy to post and very awkward to package, but if you're interested I can take 'em to LZ11 to pass on to someone ..

I can find 'em out and take pics if you like, I have no idea if they'll fit, but I would think so as the chassis are supposed to be the same.

Non of the 3.5 RR had anti rollbars or the even the facility to fix them. that came in with the 3.9s although there was an aftermarket item available that came with clamps which I saw advertised back in 1987.

LR used Harvey Bailey kits whilst they (LR) experimented with ARB's that would not only stabilize the RR but reduce the loss of suspension travel to a minimum. In-house system STC8046, which included new rear springs & all four dampers, can be retro-fitted to earlier model years back to (I believe) 1985.

STC 8046 is listed for 1992-95 JA onward VIN RR as a sports suspension kit.
Harvey Bailey sounds familiar maybe it was this that was advertised in LRO in the early days, I may now go and have look as I have still have a few copies 1986-90 stored in the loft.

The reason I know about the STC8046 is because my '87 Vogue was retro-fitted by a previous owner, I believe in the early 'nineties & I inherited the fitting instructions with the car. Prior to the HB kit LR used to fit HD rear springs, which are now a popular front axle fitment for RRC's equipped with a winch.
