I have a rear anti roll bar supplied by Ron Butler. It mounts completely different than the one you are showing. Will try to take pics this afternoon.
If you know how to contact Ron, it might solve your problems.

I spoke to Ron today, He is such a cool gentleman. Your car should have a 7/8" sway bar and it is a performance unit made for the front of the MGB. Ron modifies it and supplies the heim-joint links to make the connection. He still has some in stock at $495.00 for the kit.

Thanks for your input Leo.

I have a Unique car which uses the Jag IRS rear end as standard. They have an anti swaybar kit they set up for their cars. I would think it would work, but you can contact Alan Weaver there to make sure.
Good luck, Tony

Thank you Tony for the enlightening test report. I'm going to stick with what I have purchased. I have the Stock Car Products sway bar on the front and I really like the setup. Some time next week I will start the modifications necessary to install it through the chassis.

So...why did you bother asking what everybody is using if you already had your mind made up on what you were going to do from the beginning?

Why not just tell us what you had planned, then ask opinions? Sheesh! I jacked the car up and crawled underneath for nothing and somebody else even took pictures. What a waste of time.

I sincerely, sincerely apologize for any difficulty I caused you or other members. My mind was not made up at all, and it was only tonight after I spoke with Ron Butler that I partially convinced myself on the route to take. All the options people have shared have been enlightening.
