ARB D bush '83 HELP

Post by jrt »

Afternoon, can anyone point me in the right direction for some ARB D bushes that will fit my camper(that you have ordered). I ordered some and even double checked that they would fit but when they arrived they're the wrong size. The hole is the correct size(21mm) but the actual bush is too small and they can't be fitted. Don't need powerflex.

Do the clamps for your ARB have one bolt or two, per side? The bushes are different for both types. Sorry if you knew that already just might explain the different sizes :)

Yes two bolts on the clamp, early 83 wbx, 21 mm bar, kinked drop links. I've sent them back and they have replied to say they are the right one's. Others seem to think the early wbx and Aircooled had these larger bushes. I just don't want to order another wrong pair. These were from B and B Components.

Right ...a bit of a balls up all round really. I can't get a 19mm spanner on my arb even with a good scrape but can get a 13/16th spanner (20.6 mm) on it. The cranked drop links only fit on the early arb (should be 19mm i think) and on the Cool Air website their D bushes are 19/20/21 mm others have them 19/21/23. As i've tried 21mm i'll go for 19 as it should be....then 20 if that's no good.
