Tubular Anti Roll Bar
Posted: Fri Jul 27, 2018 8:51 pm
I am interested to find out the wall thickness (or ID) for the tubular anti roll bars on offer. I want to calculate the effective stiffness of the tubular ones (compared to a solid one). I contacted the UK supplier (Kelvedon) regarding their 22mm and 1" tubular ARB's but no response yet.
I think there is at least one forum member that has Kelvedon's 1" tubular ARB. I figure if one measures the thickness of the flat tab on the end (where it attaches to the shock unit), that would give a reasonable idea of the wall thickness. The tab appears to be formed by crushing the tube flat on itself which would then make the tab thickness ~2 x wall thickness.
If anyone has the occasion to measure this tab thickness on their tubular ARB it would be much appreciated.
