I think im getting towards the bottom of the list of questions lol :oops: Well, now it would appear that because mine is an early mk2 1.4. It has a cross member with the engine mounts underneath the engine. I've got the newer style crossmember but ive been reliably informed im now going to need a newer style ARB to go with it. My mates got a late 360, saloon if its make any difference. Would the anti-roll bar off that fit or do i need to specifically find a mk3 1.7 arb? Thanks for any help, again :lol: Thomas................

AFAIK the 360 have a different drop link set-up to the 1.4 and 1.7 engined 340s. I guess it could be adapted to fit, but its a bit of a hassle.

late 360's use drop links that go onto the strut housing, a bracket could be made but might be a hasstle. AFAIK all others (340's and earlier 360's) use the link pin that goes into the bottom arm with rubber bushes.

Not sure what the earlier crossmember is like but i would have guessed the ARB mounts would be the same?

I think it was jon-ovlov that told me on facebook. Apparently the early mk2 1.4 ARB is a different layout to the later mk3's. So i need to use a 1.7 or an early 360 one? How much should i be expecting to pay for one as im still new so dont know the prices of things yet :P Thomas...............

Depends on the age of mk2, this is where the super geeks have their happiness in the mk system we use, not all mk2's are equal ;)

yeah Chris is right. Mine was an early mk2. I've got the old ARB somewhere, so I can grab a pic and you can compare. Mine was definitely different to the 1.7 one though. What year is your MK2? got mine off Adam (340GLT) on here, I got it for £15 summat like that. Wasn't expensive at all to be fair.

Ah ok, a picture would be good cheers as its a bit hard for me to see mine, its on the car lol Then i can compare it against any others i find :) The cars a 1984 B-reg 1.4. It has the Renix ignition so im guessing its the later '84 version? Thomas.................

Mines a B reg too. So you'll have the same ARB as I did, the older one. 1.7 ARB is your best bet then.
