Does anbody know a good source for anti roll bar spacers?

If just fitted my lift kit with caster corrected radius arm and now I need to put spacers behind the ARB. I know you can make them but i was hoping to take the easy way out and buy some.

:help:

Excellent. I'm just nipping into the garage to check the sizes.



The thick ones (25mm) are just £2.95 each.

Great news.

They are very close to each other and they will fit. The ARB has 95mm between centres and a towbar has 90mm. With the holes on a towbar being about 17mm means that there is still enough space to put the bolts in the ARB bracket and pass them through the spacer.

Many thanks Bilge Rat for a quick and cheap solution.

Why, just leave them off...., even with spacers, they'll still turn and if you've fitted cranked radius arms, you must have lifted it, so, why bother with the ARB's :?:
