Torsion bar blocks

I noticed while doing some work on my 3200 that one of the front torsion bar rubber blocks needed replacing, when I look at the Eurospares site I found one that is £35 and another which is £4.

and

The more expensive one is required while the other one is marked as optional racing trim for the AC.....

On another parts site they show photos of both and to be honest I can't spot the difference

https://www.superformancemaserati.co.uk/acatalog/Suspension-Bushes-3.html#a386600358

they are different photos and it may be that the bar is a different diameter on the AC? Is there another torsion bar on the AC?

I am thinking of buying both parts and sending one back if they turn out to both fit.

Hi the 3200 anti roll bar is 20mm thick and the AC thicker at 22mm and has the 189935 rubber blocks which are cheaper, I suspect because they are old stock. If you can obtain a AC roll bat then its a good modification for a standard 3200 as it just stops some of the roll you get on a standard 3200.

Thanks Rex, good tip, I will look into that, see if I can track one down. Is the rear AC bar also stiffer?

I enquired about standard ARB blocks from Eurospares and was told that they are now discontinued so I am thinking that Superperformance units way to go unless anyone else knows different. I believe there is an initiative being made to organize some aftermarket 22mm AC ARB's so keep an eye on the forum.
