Default Rear arb mount

I'm needing one of these for the blob wagon


http://scoobyworld.co.uk/catalog/pro...oducts_id=2673

Question is.......can I use the bushes that are on the car at the moment and use the std arb?? My thinking is the outer diameter of the bushes are the same it's just the inside that varies.

Iirc the rear arb on the wagon is 17mm, is that correct?

Good luck getting the old ones off

Just done mine all the bolts snapped in the chassis rails when trying to remove them
Sprayed them with wd40 for a couple of days first as well

Can measure mine tomorrow and let you know the size of the Arb

Won't be me doing it and we're expecting the worst. What I'm wondering is will the std arb bush fit the whiteline arb mount kit???

I'm thinking they will as whiteline bushes fit the std brackets, so the external diameter must be the same across the board, it's just the internal diameter of the bushes that vary to accommodate the different sized arb's.

Don't know to be honest

I'm ordering the same mounts tomorrow but going for 22mm arb if they turn up quick I will see if my old bushes fit in them

They do look the same and only the bushes are different like you said

i might just risk it, and if they don't fit then i can purchase the whiteline arb. Problem solved.
