MG MGB Technical - Rear Anti-Sway Bar for 1975 B Roadster

Are there any ear anti-sway bar kits available for a 1975 mgb roadster. I was told that the 75 model could not accept a rear ant-sway bar. I do have a front anti-sway bar on the car currently.

Vicky Brit shows a rear 3/4" anti-sway bar item #5-982 for 74-1/2 to 80 MGB for about $160. This is an aftermarket sway kit as the original type needs special mountings were welded on in the factory.

I believe, ideally the rear sway bar should be smaller than the front so check the size of your existing. Hopefully its a 7/8".

BL (or whatever) finally installed the rear sway bar on '77 and up as the increase in ride height made it painfully obvious of the increased angle of roll.

Sure Richard. The most likely suspect is probably the Ron Hopkinson kit, which consists of both a front and a rear bar. You will not want to just throw a rear bar on there and hope for the best. They have to match. Personally I think the Hopkinson kits are the best thing since sliced bread.
