Thanks for the info. If I don't like it I can always go to a smaller size. =
Does anyone know what size is optimal for a road car?=20

My experience with a larger roll bar is that the car tends to get crazy ove=
r bumps, pavement expansion joints and the like. I have a 7/8 bar on the sh=
elf (memento of things gone awry previously) and I could not use it even on=
 my V8 car.=20

The original bar on my 100 was also 1/2" but I'm installing a 7/8" one. AH =
Spares has them at 5/8", 3/4" and 7/8". And they have polyurethane bushings=

It seems my anti-sway bar is the original 1/2" bar. My curiosity was rooted=
 in the fact I used to own an original sway bar for my Bugeye. That was 1/2=
" diameter also. I recently rebuilt the front suspension on the Bugeye whic=
h included new lower a-arms of the later type for later Spridgets. The new =
lower a-arms came with the reinforced holes for mounting a sway bar. The ne=
w bar on the Bugeye is 5/8". It doesn't seem right the smaller car has a bi=
gger sway bar.=20

What is the diameter of a 100 anti-sway bar? I just tried to put urethane b=
ushings on the one I have with my BN2 (the two center ones held on with a m=
etal strap) and the hole in the bushing was way too big. What good is that?=
 I switched to a rubber set I have and they fit better, but still a little =
loose.=20
