The one-off aluminum bracket that slips onto the end of my rear anti-roll
bar just stripped out (there's a clamping screw that keeps it located on the
bar). Think of a piece of aluminum bar stock, with a hole drilled through
it to slide on the roll bar, a hole tapped there at 90 degrees for a
locating screw (these threads stripped) and a slot cut in the other end to
accept a rod end, with another hole bored through at 90 degrees to the slot
for the rod end bolt. I tried cutting a new thread, but the bracket is not
thick enough to provide adequate thread bearing, and with a larger bolt it
immediately stripped again.
Here's the question - is this an "off-the-shelf" item in aluminum or steel
or do I have to have someone fabricate one? Simple machining job but I
don't have the equipment.
