H+R Front ARB Fitting Help

[PhilW]

Right, i've had this thing for about a year now, so it time to get it fitted. The only problem is the H+R bar is just that, a bar. So does the 25mm bar fit through the standard eye bolts on the legs?

Do i need different bushes?

I know Alex and Craig! has these fitted, any help lads?


Thanks.

As per your old thread at http://www.seatcupra.net/forums/showthread.php?t=151811 Phil, I always thought you had to try and force the 25mm bar through the standard 22mm bushes - one of the main reasons I went Neuspeed:

You get 25mm bushes with the H+R kit. If you dont have any then you need to buy some.

 

[PhilW]

Have you got any pics alex? I didnt get any with mine for some reason.

Who sells them?

There should have been a pack containing the front and rear bushes with all the brackets and clamps needed for the rear bar. Call Motorsport Tuning on 01375 362828.

I had everything with the rear ARB, thats been fitted for a while now. Everything was with that bar.

The front doesnt come with anything, just replacement bushes for the middle of the bar, which i assume is for fitment on the subframe. Nothing i could see for the eye bolts for the end of the bar.

PMSL I was thinking about mine that on top of my warbdrobe!

I was going to get Bill to fit it.

 

[PhilW]

Right i found 2 bushes, one looks like its for the eyebolt, and one looks like it sits ine the middle of the bar as its split.

Great, 2 bushes short so far.

 

[Forbez]

Any more bushes been found Phil?

 

[PhilW]

Nope, i need to find 2 from a supplier or from H&R direct. Gutted.

 

[Forbez]

You gotta have the H&R bushes? Or could you use other bushes? ie powerflex

 

[PhilW]

Right, i need these bushes now, any ideas who deals with H&R as ive emailed them direct and they havent replied.

01322 629880 is who you need to call Phil

(they are not always very helpfull tho in my experience) - hopefully you catch em on a good day

 

[PhilW]

Thanks very much for that bill.

I take it the front ARB is actually one from a mk2 golf as they dont actually list one specifically for the mk3 ibiza @ 25mm.

 

[ibizacupra]

yep

 

[PhilW]

Thanks again bill.
