heres your old link , as tabs said i dont think the old 2wd roll bar fixings will line up with the 4x4 roll bar fixings . Im doing the same to mine when i finish my restoration .

The arb fixing on the 3 door is on the chassis section bit by the wheel itself, the sapph have them either side of the diff, the 3 door roll bar is a LOT longer than the sapph type.

Hi guys.. when you saying 16mm / 18mm or the 22mm escort cosworth one.. thats the thick of anti roll bar..? or the Bushes..? I want to make the 22mm escort to my sapp 2wd, i have to change the whole antiroll bar..? thanks for the help...

tabetha

Yes the 16/18/22 etc is the diameter of the bar itself, which has to be used with the corresponding bushes of the same size.
Pm answered as well.
Swapping to a 22mm rear arb can affect front end grip though, so will drive slightly different at extremes.

Ok thank you.. mate,, now im understrand.., but today i buy a 4x4 sapp one, 18mm.... Soo it better searching for an Escort one.. thanks Tabetha )

Although a 22mm one is nice, it does make the car handle different, it's much better with fully adjustable suspension, as otherwise stiffening the rear can cause understeer on the limit, so just try it out gently till you get used to it, I dropped my rear pressures a bit to lose a little rear grip to keep the car more neutral in the corners.
