Fitting Anti-Roll=-Bars to Defender 110 TD5

Hi all,
Am considering fitting ARBs to my 110 TD5s and am looking at the BritPart PolyBush option. Problem is that there's a comment saying that you may or may not be able to fit them depending on whether the chassis has the appropriate fitting points.

Just to make it a bit more challenging... the BritPart instructions don't have any pictures!

Could someone with them fitted take a couple of piccies so I could at least see where they go and how they're attached !

Got 2 TD5;s to do, a 1999 and an 2004

Thx

Well, the brackets are certainly there on the 2004, as l fitted them to mine. Makes a big difference on road, it no longer rolls like a ship in a gale on corners.
I used the Britpart kit but the rear ARB was touching the fuel tank guard so l ended up fitting an OE take off to the rear.

Was The fuel tank fouling happening with the 2 extra bits you need when attaching them to a 110 ?

Yes l had to order the extra brackets for the 110 and it also requires two of the holes to be drilled out. But the Britpart rear ARB was very close to the fuel tank guard.

I bought an OE “take off” for next to nothing and that was a perfect fit.
These people are still selling the rear ARB. The Britpart front one fitted fine.

Hope this helps.

If the rear ARB fouls the tank support or tank guard, it (the ARB) can be lowered by inserting packing pieces between the chassis brackets and the ARB mounting clamps.
