Will see how I go, it's only a 20mm bar I'm putting on anyway.

I guess you say better safe than sorry but I feel this will suffice. If it was a 24mm bar I would definitely consider it

In form of progress or getting more made up?

I don't think I'll be able to get more made up as I discussed on the facebook, The guy who fabricated these is an aerospace engineer (has more important things to do).

However Jethro said he might be able to do it.

As for progress, I have painted them yellow to match the swaybar and I will be fitting on friday along with my bllies + sti pinks (HOPEFULLY)!

wow good job! just to reiterate I haven't tested the dimensions yet!

also you'll probably have to shorten the top bolt as I don't think there was much clearance back there..

good luck!

Good work to both of you!

Just remember there's 2 different types of libs. The ~65mm spacing and the ~75mm spacing.

You can always drill 1 more hole for the two different size types.
Also it fits. Will be able to make others for people get your orders in.

So after a busy day of install, here are the facts:

1) There is nuts welded on to the stock mounts, dunno how we missed this in our measurements. Basically all this meant is that instead of having a complete sandwich, the sandwich is against the nuts (3 in my case as we welded nuts on to the top hole). Because of this, I would suggest going for slightly longer bolts, as the ones we got reached with the nut but only just.
2) For perfect fitment we had to grind off a bit of the top edge on the backing plate. This is due to small working area at rear of stock mount. You could probably get away without doing this but we did it anyway.

I think that's all, here are some pics, It felt like I took a lot more, but obviously not!

Nathan, Did you install your yet or just check fitment - did you have to grind the edge down?
