I was about to search for my parts list, and then saw the end of your note! That is a distant memory, but I guess after 14 years it would have been a miracle if I'd remembered the part number.

Some research on Microcat. Non XR2 anti roll bars are 12mm dia, the XR2 is 14mm The Mk2 Fiesta clamp is the same part number for both sizes so the outer bush size must be the same. The clamps aren't from a Mk3/4 Escort , they are P shaped. The Mk3 Fiesta clamp for the front anti roll bar looks right. The Mk3 Fiesta has different part numbers for the clamp for different sizes of anti roll bar but, the finis code for the Mk3 Fiesta clamp for a 12mm anti roll bar is 6169163, or old Ford code 89FB5488AA That would be my best guess for the part. I tried look for the part number on my 2+2 as it would be stamped into the bracket but there's too much paint on it. Unfortunately there are no Mk3 clamps on ebay that i can find. You could try your local Ford dealer with those part numbers, they may still have them. Take the existing clamp and bush with you so you can compare it. After doing all that, i remembered the i had an archive of the old Smartgroups message base (what the group was on before Google) and a quick search revealed: " I can confirm the rear anti roll bar bracket (bolts through floor and holds anti roll bar bush) is part number 89FB-5488-AA (Finis No 6169163). This part fits the bush perfectly, is better than using the original part with extra tab welded on, and at £1.74 each will not break the bank. Just out of interest- the part is actually for the front anti roll bar of a 89-95 Fiesta. Martin Scott" From 2001.

After some difficulty I have located some universal ones that are supplied with bushes but at 36 pounds a pop I will not be ordering a number of sets in assorted sizes on spec. Does anyone know where a good place to look for these brackets? I have since found that on some sites they are listed as clamps but so far no mk3 or 4 clamps are listed. Can I contact Quantum classic and ask them what they fitted to the rear antiroll bar on Q2-098 ? Thank you all for your previous advice and support. I am off now to wrestle with the interweb and I hope you know some of the answers to my questions. I really need that clamp.

My 2+2 Kitty (Q2-098) is at the garage for its MoT waiting for me to locate a couple of bushes and the brackets to attach them to the car. These are for the rear anti-roll bar , the existing ones being too corroded to use. By the way ,what size are the actual bushes? Looking at a number of websites they are offered for the Fiesta Mk2 in a variety of different sizes. However no sign of the fitting brackets , should I be looking for flanges or something? Well ,if anyone has any idea where I can get them I would be relieved and delighted to hear.
