Cheers for that Rattletrap. Its just that I picked up an late LHD 53 beam and has one fitted and look as its been there a long time. Also the steering box has an alloy top cover something I have not seen before and its on two bolt wheel cylinders.

Going through all my stuff at home, USA JohnMuir's manual lists 1959 as the first year for anti-sway bars, which surprises me.:smile:

I think that´s about right. Wasn´t the steering damper added at the same time?:?

Our '56 oval had one fitted. Its long gone now, Jon saw to that.
1956 VW Beetle, 1962 Morris Minor, 1968 VW Beetle (Old Blue), 1972 Morris Mini, 2005 MGTF

Blue, blue, Electric Blue, that's the colour of Old Blue!
