Yes you can. There will be a handling charge to cover replating if we can't sell it 'as new' but otherwise we are happy to exchange them for the shorter bar!
Thanks for that, on it's way !
Magic. We have a batch of 'historic' bars off at plating, due back next Tuesday, so I will get the replacement on its way as soon as they are back with us.
Bending the blades is good.... gives more clearing to the tyre + more importantly; the rosejoint wont schafe against the side of the blade (as it does when at an angle - this makes a very "squeeky" sound)
Looks like they've made their own drop-links too...
I think that's an even shorter bar than the historic one , hence the bent blades as you say for extra clearance. Beautifully built car, even the body has panel gaps to die for !
Poor photo this (was in a rush) , note standard pedals (I'm not the only one without fancy extensions then !).
We supplied that as two collars and a length of bar!
Its not unusual for people to bend the blades though- that gives more room for clearance and gives you more of a chance at getting the drop links as straight as possible if your set-up is a little different than the considered 'standard' that the bar was designed for. Swifty has access to a press though, so bending the blades evenly and nicely is easily done. Its not so easy at home in a bench vice with a hammer and scaffold bar as your only metal forming tools!
