Hi guys, another Nuts refugee here, although I signed up here and there at the same time, Nuts works (worked!) on Tapatalk much better...
I'm trying to buy some front and rear anti roll bar bushes for my 2000 NB 1.8s (with the lil brakes).
ECP/CP4L list them as 21.5mm and 11.5mm.
Powerflex has options for 20 or 22mm, and 11 or 12mm.
I'm assuming I need the 20 and 11, can anyone confirm?
Ta.

I’d measure your bars to confirm what you actually have fitted before you order anything.

That would be the sensible thing to do, but I don't have a set of verniers, and I doubt a ruler would be accurate to a mm, not with the amount of crap/rust on there... Hehe!

Just bought some dirt cheap verniers from the tat shop, they'll probably be as accurate as a spoon... Should be close enough I guess, and smaller would be better than too big.
I just assumed that the larger sizes would be for any special editions or for ones with sport brakes etc.

You can use an open ended spanner to get a rough idea of the roll bar size.

Well..... Impatience, incompetence, ignorance.... I went ahead and bought the sizes as listed pretty much everywhere for the NB, 11 and 20. The 11mm fit the rear... The 20mm didn't fit the front! Bow-locks! Anyone need 20mm rarb bushes?  What I have been thinking, is the car "better" with a thinner bar upfront? I might get a 20mm arb if that's the case. The moral of this story... Measure twice, cut once! Or at least measure... |

I reckon you need to upgrade your eyeballs or something. I had lasers installed and they seem to be calibrated right for scanning components  |
