Mk1 B ARB

[Charged]

Can anyone tell me the diameter of a standard Mk1b rear ARB?

Thanks

[Finn]

My -89 has 19 mm front and 13 mm rear. FWIW, on track they feel a bit too small in diameter.

[un1eash]

I thought rear ARB's came in 10,12 and 14mm. If you say its 13mm i would guess its actually 12mm but just rusty. Fronts are all 18mm i believe.

[Finn]

Very possible - I measured both with vernier caliper after trying to get rid of the stuff on the surface. Could well be 18 and 12 on mine.

12mm for MK1b.

Thanks folks!

While on the subject:

do you know who might stock Whiteline ARBs for Mk1 in UK?

Thanks for the tip. They appear to be out of stock, I'm afraid.

You may find Fensport are their UK's exclusive dealer. I could be wrong.

A Mk2 Mr2 rear ARB is a good cheap upgrade.

Indeed, i find the Mk2 ARB a better upgrade than whitelines.

Mk2 turbo? any specific revision?

Rev1 or 2 bars work very well, use Mk1 front brackets with them

[aw11rally]

I agree.

If you havn't got any mk1 front mounts its not too challenging to knock some up yourself, I used 2mm stainless plate.

A very cheap and effective upgrade, cost me £0 in total.

Thanks Stenky.

if they would ship those big things to Finlandia for promised 20GBP, i'll take the whole set right away

[Finn]

Their actual freight cost on tires was exactly what they advertised - I got my Hankooks from them. Need some financial arrangements first, though.

Would be good to know whether they would actually be an improvement over the originals.

[stenky]

well 20/18mm over 19(18)/12(13)mm should make a considerable difference. probably not so much for the front as it will do for the rear.

i am not sure about the size of the mk2 ARBs and whether the mk2 front is interchangeable as well as the rear is.

I have a 19mm rear ARB on my Mk1 and it's chuffin brilliant.

I'd keep the front ARB stock, it's plenty thick enough I reckon.
