Hello I'm in a bit of a pickle and sorry to sound like a broken record but I'm struggling to find out what I need to do.
Basically my car is a phase 2 1989 and I have bought a galvanised subframe which is different to my phase 2 so I'm guessing it is a phase 1 frame?
I fitted my 19mm inner powerflex anti rollbar bush onto my rollbar and it was a nice fit but when trying to fit it to the clamps around the subframe their is no way it will ever fit.Do phase 1's have chunkier anti rollbars with bushes that have bigger diameters but are smaller on the outside?
If I cant work it out soon I am going to get something machined up to make the inner bushes fit correctly.I would rather not do this to keep the car factory.Also I would prefer it if I could get a bigger rollbar than 19mm on the car as when I fitted a bigger one on my old fiesta the difference was very noticeable.
I had similar problems getting correct brake fittings but then ordered them from CGB and they where perfect.I'm not having much luck finding correct parts Renault don't make things easy atall they mess about with different kinds of door pins,different shades of grey paint,different tints in window glass etc etc!
Any help would be great
Thanks, Luke
