Anti Roll Bar Clamp Tab Washers

Post by Andrew 2.8i »

Hi,
I hope everyone is well.
Burton have these anti-roll bar clamp tab washers in stock:
http://www.burtonpower.com/locktab-anti ... ktab3.html

Now, the title specifically states that they do not fit the mk3, yet the "fits model variant" guide in the additional information section states that they do. Has anyone bought any of these, and do they fit the mk3?

Thank you in advance for any advice you may have.

Andrew.

They look identical to the Capri Club ones, and they seem to be a better price too as I think you get a set of four for £9 -

Andrew, Burton's are probably referring to the fact that the roll bar boxes changed in the first few years of the `Mk3, I am not sure of the exact year but on early cars the clamps run front to back square as the `mk2 thats the only reason i can see, however i expect they will still fit ok

Hi,
Yes, I spotted the CCI items. That's why I'm shopping around!

Thanks for the info, that is something I was unaware of. Do the clamps use a smaller size bolt? Is that the reason why they say it won't fit?

But the CCI ones are cheaper aren't they? As you get four for £9. Whereas Burton are £3.55 for one.

HI,
Yes, you are correct. I'm not sure why, but I thought the Burton price was for a pair. :doh:
They're not worth buying on their own from either seller anyway, once postage is taken into account they become mightily expensive. That's the reason I was asking about the Burton parts, as I was going to add them onto an order.
