Default Diff mount, ARB suppliers?

Going to get a poly diff mount for the saff (RWD), and possibly a thicker rear ARB. Who does "the best" mounts as there seems to be several types available?

Re the ARB, where can I get one, and does it require different drop links to fit?

Cheers.

If you're already running the 16mm rear ARB, you can go for the 18mm 4x4 Sapphire Cos one or the 22mm Escos one....or the halfway house of the Scorpio Cosworth saloon one which is in between the two in diameter.
4x4 Sapph Cos ones are easy to find and quite cheap but Escos ones are generally more in demand and harder to source. Keep your eyes on Ebay or drop the well know breakers a line

Beware if using the scorpio rear arb, only the saloon one is the same shape, the middle section is around 5" longer however and depending on where(supplier) the fuel tank came from on your car will determine whether or not it will fit.
All the bush clamps from the 16mm to the 22mm can be used with any size bush, though it does help on the 22mm arb to just sometimes give the bracket a whack to move it over ever so slightly.
There is now the opption of using a diff hanger bush that looks totally original, and of course as it is made from an original one to start with, has no issues with clearance, doesn't need and special bolts, looks original for all those bufties.
They are just as stiff as the GGR/MSD ones, but under £50(delivered), just sent one to Iceland where they have the angry volcano!!
