Who has done this swap into a coupe & what bar end bushings & bolts did you use? Anyone in the US - Tom???

I'm trying to solve clearance issues between the strut tower & bolts, no availability in the US for the OEM 110 bushings & bolts that I can find so I'm stuck with B210 bushings that are larger.

any help is appreciated!

Hiya, I also had a fue probs doing this swap put it did fit in the end. The bar is a bit wider than the standard 17mm bar, I used B310 bottom arms and bar to bottom arm links. Start at the link end and then to the front bracket mounts keeping everything very slack and then tighten it all up.....

OK, I have to admit to being a dumbsh*t so go ahead & laugh, its all right.

Maybe the next person doing this swap will pay more attention then me & NOT install the bar upside down, duh!


Amazing ow much easier the bushings go on when you put the bar on correctly, I still had to cut down the end of the bolt once the bar end bushes were installed as the B210 bolt is at least an inch longer then the 110 original but other then that it bolted up perfectly.

If anyone cares I used the Moog brand link kit part # K8989, about 8 bucks a set at O'Reillys.

I used a 120Y bar (thanks DatsAndy) a while back in the 1200 coupe I have. I used 1200 parts throughout. I got new 'std' bushes for the 2 upright rods, and the D shaped bushes - obviously the stockers wouldn't fit so I just got a pair of noltec blue 20mm D shape bushes. they had a lip on the outer edge of each side, I simply carefully ground them with a bench grinder till they were a uniform flat D arch with no lip on each end and in they went just fine.

If that's confusing to anyone, I'll do an MSPAINT diagram to help out.
