I'll check for you, but

1) What Model/Body is it,
2) the front/rear clamps/bushes are different,
3) the ARB length, lever ratio are different front/rear, so

4) why are you asking ?

Shouldn't think so. My notes are that the standard Mk1/1.5 rollbars are 21mm front and back. Estate from 10/01 (Mk1.5) had a 22mm front bar, which was also used by the FRS

Could be bushes from another Ford. IIRC Mondeo Mk2 had a 16mm rear rollbar.
