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 which 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 new bar on the Bugeye is 5/8".  It doesn't seem 
right the smaller car has a bigger sway bar.

  Sorry, my BN2 measures 5/8 inch but I also measured the 10 other sway
  bars upstairs in the garage and 4 were &frac12; inch and the rest 5/8
  inch.  Suspect I put a 6 cylinder bar on it 17 years ago during the last
  resto. Have had that car for 54 years.

  What is the diameter of a 100 anti-sway bar?  I just tried to put
  urethane bushings on the one I have with my BN2 (the two center ones held
  on with a metal 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.
