Mike,
The original bar on my 100 was also 1/2" but I'm installing a 7/8" one. AH Spares has them at 5/8", 3/4" and 7/8". And they have polyurethane bushings.
Regards,
Charlie Schott

It seems my anti-sway bar is the original 1/2" bar. My curiosity was rooted in the fact I used to own an original sway bar for my Bugeye. That was 1/2" diameter also. I recently rebuilt the front suspension on the Bugeye which included new lower a-arms of the later type for later Spridgets. The new lower a-arms came with the reinforced holes for mounting a sway bar. The new bar on the Bugeye is 5/8". It doesn't seem right the smaller car has a bigger sway bar.

Sorry, my BN2 measures 5/8 inch but I also measured the 10 other sway bars upstairs in the garage and 4 were ½ inch and the rest 5/8 inch. Suspect I put a 6 cylinder bar on it 17 years ago during the last resto. Have had that car for 54 years.

What is the diameter of a 100 anti-sway bar? I just tried to put urethane bushings on the one I have with my BN2 (the two center ones held on with a metal strap) and the hole in the bushing was way too big. What good is that? I switched to a rubber set I have and they fit better, but still a little loose.
