Anti Roll Bar Disconnects

I know there is a supplier abroad of Disconnect Anti roll bars. But has any of our UK jimny parts suppliers considered producing a quick disconnect bar?
Maybe modding a standard bar on exchange basis with a sleeve and pin set-up?
Or producing a whole new bar?
I know this would be an easy mod for those with the skills and means to make their own, but not all of us can or be bothered to make one, and buying one off the shelf would be a good solution.

Fancy fixing mine? Got stuff still to fit from you! Now got a big heap from ORA. Big mountain of parts to fit!
Not even put the jimny on the road in over 12 months, just trailered it to1 play day.
Even after passing the MOT in November its still off the road, I think the MOT man didn't even looked at my jimny, the rear diff and rear prop was completely shot.

They are not testable items. He doesn't have to waste time looking at them.
If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there

As a first-off, I was just going to go down the pin-sleeve route as it's the simplest. If they sell, make something more like the Land Rover version which works really well except with solenoid lock/unlock. The solution to solenoid operation has been staring me in the face - but it was only this week that a design came together!

a bit off topic
no i swaped the broken arms to my new ones, and went for an outing at the lake district as we had passes for gatescarth
halfway up the rear diff went, shearing all the teeth off, but then ive not had any time to fix it as jimnybits has been growing so fast
but i managed to get the rear diff out, swap for the new better ratio gears and drop back in,
thats it as ive got to do the front diff with matching ratio's
then refurb all 4 calipers
clean up and grease both props
hopefully this month as i will be getting my second unit which is next door so ill have all my workshop equipment in one place and will finally fix it!
then hopefully will get some shafts made to suit the larger Sami Trailgear CV's, then make a fitting kit to suit
well thats the plan!

Is X-Eng Simon thinking of using vac or maunal hubs to engage/disengage disconnects?
