Has anyone put a front sway bar on a Bugeye ,--if so what brand and size? My A arms will have to be drilled to mount it,--will this weaken them ? Bob C

The later cars had front sway bars as an option. You can get the parts and install them on your car. If you use your A-arms, you will want to reinforce them at the mounting point. Back the surface wi

I run an Addco 7/8" front bar on FROGGI, mounted solid in aluminum. Main purpose of the car is autocross, but it does see spirited street use... not too interested in ride quality. Getting ready to

Yes, more than once. I tried a 7/8 Addco, it was too big. I am running a 3/4" now, I like it. And the stock 9/16" bar works fine on a stock Bugeye. -- Frank Clarici Toms River, NJ Too many Sprites (a

I run a 9/16" later model stock sway bar on my bug-i, but also have the later A arms and disc brakes. They do have a thin plate to reinforce the bolt holes. I would be more worried about where it mou

The recommendations you've been getting seem complete and accurate. My only take is that you get replacement a-arms rather than drill yours. Almost all (I would say all if I had guts) arms now suppl

Yes, I have. When I did my bugeye restoration, I converted it to the front disk brake setup, from a later midget, using the entire suspension setup from each side (except for springs). I Also pulled

Yeah, Yeah, I know.... But it still came out a heck of a lot cheaper than buying the complete assemblies new. I didn't intend to replace the a-arms, but I found the cracks at the last minute during r

Yes I have seen the gauge steel that is used to make the frame rails. The bottom piece is spot welded to the upper hat section. I have heard about the spot welds failing under hard cornering conditio

I made a "c" channel of steel and spot welded it to the bottom of the frame rails. The stiffness that it added was definitely noticeable. The bumper brackets are flimsy. Tried to use them as pull poi
