Aren't there 3 different sizes of ARB's that came on some models i.e. GTE's, SR's, TD's etc?

What exactly were the different thicknesses/ diameters and which sizes came on which models?

Are there different sizes for the rear aswell?


Cheers.

Are you looking into bush sizes?

I belive there a couple of different sizes, but the bushs go around the tie bars? which are 3 different sizes.

Rear should have two diff sizes, one for saloons and stuff, and then for GTE/GSI etc i guess.

Somone will confirm lol

Yep looking into polybushes.

I was sure all tie bars were the same, just the ARB's came in different sizes.

:confused:

Looks like I'll need me some GSi ones. Don'T thing the pov spec ones will cut it with a LET.

Tie bars come in 16mm and 22mm IIRC. ARB's are the same diameter AFAIK.

I kept the 22mm Tiebars from the Sport, they'll go on the T40 1.3 Nova along with some new bushes and I'll need to source a rear ARB for it

Got one of a saloon on the 1.2 Nova and can't really tell if it makes a difference
