Description of the ALEXANDER Front Anti-roll torsion bar for Turner

The Alexander Anti-roll bar system consists of a standard 11/16“ (17.5 mm) torsion bar and an additional ¾” (19.0 mm) rod for increased stiffness.

Original Alexander folder

The standard bar connects LH + RH lower wishbone (via rubber mountings) with the front end of the chassis (rubber mounted distance brackets). The ALEXANDER Anti-roll bar was available as an option for cars like the A35, A40, Sprite/Midget and some larger BMC-B engined cars from the early 60’s. Also Turner offered an Anti-roll bar as an option.

The additional stiffening bar is connected via four brackets, securing the ¾” bar to the 11/16” bar and is probably a later addition. The four brackets are branded: DEE JAY RACING.
