Sorry about the truck, would it be possible to weld the bracket or could you remove the anti roll bar altogether for a week or so and sort it when you get back, just don't go round bends at high speed.
Classic Range Rovers did not get anti roll bars as standard till till about 1990 and only a few fell over and these were usually being driven by people with little 4X4 experience.

Don't be a woosy briggie, go on holiday with out it.

I was going to say, i can take one off mine to lend you and we can fit it on the way past, but then saw you had a Big Horn. Foiled at the starting block.

Oh well the thought was there. I got a welder if it can be welded back up though.

Well Briggie isn't on line at the moment, and he hasn't responded to any of the comments, so can we assume he has gone on holiday anyway, or has he found a quick fix?
