Any of you guys got a set of ARB Bushings handy  for a non abarth 131? I'm looking for front and rear inner bushings and was wondering if the Sport , Racing , TC etc use the same as Abarth's?
They are 13mm and 19mm I think . The correct ones are to the left of the attached picture.

Tristan,

I had the ARB bushes replaced on my Stradale a year ago, and (part of) the invoice read like this -


To refit front and rear anti-roll bars, with new spherical joints/links.
To custom-make new front tie-rod bush sleeves and TCA outer joint bush sleeves.
To adapt other make Super-flex bushes for TCA outer joint ends.
To adapt other make Super-flex bushes for tie-rod front mounts and front anti-roll bar mounts

Speak to Mark Nicholson at Italian Race Services near Basildon, Essex on 01268 726279. I'm pretty sure that he modified Ford Escort? Roll Eyes bushes to fit the Abarth.

Cheers

I had a look , and got some Ford RWD Escort bits from a mate , and indeed it does seem doable to modify Escort ARB bushes and carriers to fit the 131 without much hassle...
