get out your ruler and measure the anti-roll bar diameter...... there's certainly 2 different diameter ones, maybe more......

Well, IIRC mine was more like 16mm. Just had a look at superflex website and they do them for 16mm or 25mm.....

The roll bars are TVR specials loosely based on the Ford design and a variety of dimensions have been used. The 520 roll bar is 28 mm BTW

So why did you order a 24mm one? And why not use Superflex?
