Engine steady bush
Hi, are there different types of upper engine steady bar bushes, ie different size/width?

Re: Engine steady bush
Early Minis up to Feb 1963 had this steady bar below with a larger rubber bush at the engine end.

SPQR and most car spares shops back in the day, also sold these two 'cone shaped' metal bushes below to 'upgrade' the rubbers, available for both before and after Feb 1963 Mini steady bars by replacing the straight metal bush fitted as standard.
