Most don't bother with anti-roll bar - fitting will depend on the make, or are you adapting something from another car ? Some use the tie-bar mounting bolt hole to carry a block through which the ends of the bar locate - others use a clamp (or bolt) arrangement through the lower suspension arm. The front of the bar is generally carried on simple brackets fixed (some weld, some bolt through) to the front chassis cross member - often these are just hydraulic pipe clamps ! Anti -roll bar tends to induce understeer - and Minors have plenty of that as standard anyway! To counter this - a little negative camber on the front wheels is highly recommended.

That's the one - tie-bar bolt mount and hydraulic clamps!

I've got a good tip.
When you offer up the front bracket give some thought to where the bolt is going to emerge on the inside of the chassis leg.
I didn't and had to grind a bit off the washer to get it to fit.
Doing the nut up was a bit of a pain as well.
Worst case is that it ends up in the front cross member

Nice mod though if your not a fan of body roll.
