Get a 19mm open ended spanner and fit it over your ARB, if its snug your roll bar is 19mm, if not and it dont fit over, then youve got a bigger one and need to find a 20 and 22mm spanner.

I fitted these bushes to my TypeR and used the spanner technique to check the ARB sizes. You can do both without jacking up the car, just put the front wheels on full lock.

Thanks Hol, that makes almost too much sence the bar is a 19mm. Phoned Powerflex and after a bit of head scratching they found a wider 19mm aplication should get the replacements next week. I'll post the part no.s next week if there right.

Ill dig out the boxes and let you know the numbers for my STI 98.

Ill also send you my old ones, if you mail me an address as there was nothing wrong with them and you could always send them off for powerflex to match, if they fit.
