If you're thinking of fitting thicker than standard anti roll bars for the love of god don't. The new bushes do not fit! They're just too big and you can't get the clamp back on. I tried to put mine on today, and I reckon I need to take at least 5 or 6mm off the bush so it will fit

They normally come as a kit? Did you buy new or used?
How do you pronounce 'either'? I say 'either', but some say 'either'. Either is correct.

YOu need to buy some Polyflex ones, they cater for all sizes of rollbar, but the outside is to fit into the standard clamp.
That's what's on my cab.

Do OEM bushes differ for different ARB's? As Rav said though I would just fit Poly bushes and be done. Unless your an OEM homo of course ;)

I bought the H&R kit which came with bushes to suit, also have poly ones from the full kit I bought, both are too big for the clamp. Where do you get larger clamps from?

Sounds like you've been sent incorrect bushes? Is it definitely an E30 kit? E36's have larger clamps for example..

Definitely for an e30. The bushes that came with the full kit I bought separate are the same. Rears were an an arse too but I managed to get those on. Thing is I've gone from 19.5mm and 14mm to 22mm and 18mm
