Swaybar Modification

These pictures show our procedures to modify an MGA 1500 front frame extension to accept a swaybar. The final result duplicates an MGA 1600 front frame extension.

MGA 1500 Frame Extension

This shows the original shape of the MGA 1500 front frame extension.

Extension cut and welded

Using a template, we cut the frame extension for the swaybar. Then we heat and bend the proper shape to the top rail. Finally, we TIG weld the seam back together.

For more information and pricing, see our Front Frame Extension Repair page.

Modified for swaybar

After grinding and sandblasting, the modification cannot be detected; the frame extension looks and fits exactly like an MGA 1600 extension.

Swaybar mount and bushing

We stock the proper mount and bushing to install the swaybar.
