Re: 2.8i rear anti roll bar
That`s interesting, I thought all such parts were interchangeable, apart from bush bores. Which mounts?

Re: 2.8i rear anti roll bar
Looking at the photo, that looks like an Escort (mark 2 ?) anti roll bar, it's not from a Capri.

Edit:
I've found a photo online of an Escort ARB:

The Capri item is a completely different shape:

As Steve has correctly pointed out, the 2.8 and Laser anti roll bars are interchangeable.

Re: 2.8i rear anti roll bar
Well this is interesting. I can't remember, or find a record of where I got this from, but it was definitely advertised as a Capri 2.8 rear anti roll bar.
I agree that it looks like it isn't a Capri part at all, which would explain why I couldn't get it to fit. I do remember being confused at the time as I was pretty sure it should bolt on. Clearly I didn't do anything about it, and it just sat in the garage for years.
Thanks for the detective work on this. I'll take it off sale and try to work out what to do with it.
