I have 3 -86 turbo coupes sitting here with 1&1/4" bars on them stock. It's only a 1/16 differance.  What size does a standard T bird have on them?

What method are y'all using to measure the bars ?


All my part reference catalogs dont even show 1 1/4 bars listed 


1 1/8 and 1 5/16 are the only bars over 1 inch

I used a set of veiner calipers  and measured between  1.255 and 1.290 
I have about 4 85-88 TC front sway bars laying around

with the enery suspention bushings and endlinks, it stiffen up the 85 alot and handles a ton better.

I see,  from what I understand 5/16 is like .30/.31ish
So I guess there is a real little difference .
 Maybe I will try the energy suspension bushings

5/16 is .312 

unes your dealing with valve stems, then they range from .311 to .315

I was guessing after trying to do math in my head  :hick: 

 I went down to my garage again today and a 1 1/4 in wrench does not fit on my bar , I'm calling it  production variances :D
 

 poor quality pics but I think it shows what I mean
