Rear beam differences

[dinger]

Is there any difference in a bare rear beam from model to model, Looking for a spare to fit my 172 cup, seen a 1.2 model beam but not sure if they are all the same?

Thanks

1.2 beam has drum brakes, idk how that would work

Afaik it's only the bolt on bits that are different.

Anti roll bar is thicker on 182 cup/pack than a 172

Thanks Guys,

So the actual beam (no add ons) is the same on all models?

 

[Jay Payne]

Err, no. Thats not what i said. The roll bar in the beam can be different

What he said ^^ some don't even have a roll bar

How do you go about changing a welded in roll bar that's part if the axle???

 

[Sean6545]

Pretty sure there splined at either end.

It was a ritorical question mate, there welded as one piece and would be some fab job to replace

would be cheaper to put on a clio sport discs axle

Just whack a whiteline on it.

Grinder, hammer (large variety) and a drift will remove the arb inside the rear beam mate. After a bit of abuse of course. Then it's just a case of opening the hole up to accept some larger diameter cds tube, bit of welding to hold it in place and job done.

It's all a bit committed though! Lol

Yup I would have no problem tackling the job but I'm guessing the op wouldn't if he is looking for a cheap bolt on option.

p.s I think its sprung metal that's used, no??

Yeah most anti roll bars are spring steel, but it's a bit of a pita to get them made. Cds tube will work fine. I've used it in another rear beam setup before with good effect
