Mike,
next time you tell me your Bugeye had a Shorrock Superchharger.
Yes, maybe, but not fitted by rhe factory.

Josef,
Look at the bottom of the front frame rails on any Bugeye. You will=
=20
find pre-driiled and tapped holes for sway bar brackets. The Bugeye sway=
=20
bar was offered as an optional performance upgrade at BMC dealers. You had=

to drill two holes in the lower a-arms to mount the sway bar links. You=20
are correct in the sense a Bugeye did not come with a sway bar at point of=
=20
purchase, but the dealer sold many performance products offered by the=20
manufacturer. Terry Horler's book "Original Sprite & Midget" mentions the=
=20
anti-sway bar offered by Healey Motor Company on page 31. There is a=20
picture of the bar there, but it's a little dark, but you can see the two=
=20
bolt mounting bracket on the lower a-arms that needed holes drilled for=20
them.

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.=20
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 ½ 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.=20
