Rear ARB strap snapped

[mattso118]

Hi all,

After driving in a spirited fashion, my rear ARB strap has snapped open, both straps were very rusty anyway, have spent hours on here and even more on ebay but cannot find the straps I need to mount the ARB to the rear axle. Does anyone know of any sites or companies that sell them? If not then the ibiza will be arb'less....

What make was it?

not too sure mate, was fitted by a previous owner and there doesnt appear to be any stickers etc on it. Plus I cant post photos on here yeet, or links for that matter.

What colour?

Cable ties?

Is it a Whiteline RARB? Try contacting them for any spares they might sell / be able to provide?

This one?

Cable ties will hold it up, but it won't work as an arb...

I was joking. The ARB will still work, as its the attachments at each end of the bar which are the really important ones!

Neuspeed?

 

[mattso118]

had another look at mine and I cant see any online that has drop links like mine ??? very strange. The attachments on mine dont have any poly bushes or anything, just bolted straight on, metal to metal???

Sounds like an old jabbasport one. Was it basically help on with jubilee clips? Or did it have proper steel u bolts?

 

[mattso118]

yeah looked like jubilee clips but with a big nut and bolt at top, wasnt a U bolt or clamp or anything, just like a metal strap with a bolt in the top??

 

[Scott-o]

Sounds like jabbasports version.

big u-clamps and brackets on the whiteline ones.

 

[mattso118]

yeah now gotta find the right part, and a new set of alloys !!!

 

[mattso118]

anyone got 2 spare fr wheels going cheap ????

 

[Gooner_Mike]

This one then probably. The Jabbasport one!

 

[mattso118]

Thats the one! anyone know if its worth finding a strap for it, i.e are they any good ?

 

[mattso118]

does Mikalor straps ring a bell for anyone ?

does Mikalor straps ring a bell for anyone ?

Yep, pretty good I believe. Most people use them for intercooler pipework and silicon pipes but they would probably do the job. All you are doing is securing the rubber bushes that hold the ARB to the rear beam.
