I need sway bar bushings with clips and bolts for my 1971 Ford Mustang Mach 1. The bar measures 3/4” (used the open end and crescent wrench method). I only drive it maybe once a week so not looking for high performance or expensive.
When I am searching parts web sites I see a lot in mm not inches or do not show the size.
Where is the best place to look?

When in Rome do as the Romans do
If you cant beat em join em
You should be able to buy the spring nuts from a paint and body supply house
I have a bunch of them in my toolbox
The SAE and USS ones are getting hard to find

I like the feel of the rubber ones
You will end up with several over the years
Try them all
Get an addco rear bar for the car
An Addco rear bar is one of the only non stock additions I have made to my 69

Addco has been eliminating some old part numbers. Get a front and rear bar now if you want a pair of the best.

I worried for nothing. I had to cut the old ones off. It was black rubber, very soft.
The 3/4” Blue Moog spread and slipped on pretty easy.
From what I have read these blue Moog bushings are made out of Thermoplastic and do not need any lubtrcation.

Thanks everyone for the advice.
