Front ARB rose joints

'Sorry, you mean 'pull handles'?
'Don't think I've ever had any.

There's one illustrated on page 36 of the Super Profile book.
I don't think they are an OE fitment though?

I think the pull handles in the Super Profile book are Mk3 Minis, Steve.
And yes, you don't want to rely on the fasteners alone!

Thanks for the replies regarding the interior door handles. I'm fairly sure the stradale that I drove had something fitted - I don't remeber wondering how to close the door in that one like I did when I got into mine.

The anti-roll bar question - I can take a rose joint off to measure, but I wondered if someone might already know the part number. The drop links are fine - just movement in the joints that I want to address.

Thanks all. As usual, there's plenty of help on this fantastc forum.

Justin, here are the part numbers for Stradale and Group 4 front drop links:
Group 4:
49 - ????????? ('ball joint')
26 - 82307866 ('stud')
Stradale:
36 - 82294166 ('socket ball')
22 - 82294168 ('link')
51 - 11701711 ('nut')

'Can't find the part number for the front ARB Group 4 ball joint. I'm still looking.
It looks like a normal female rod end really? If so, those would be available from many outlets.

As you say Chris - a standard female rod end, so I'll take one off to measure up.
Thanks very much for finding and sharing the diagram - much appreciated.

Chris the Stratos Jedi Master, when are going to write the Stratos books! Speaking personally of course, some of us have very small brains & need all the help we can get!

Like you say, you need to write several books!
