You will find the parts diagram for the arb's here.

My 100L definitely has a front, can't remember if one on rear.....


Our 1989 100L has front and back. Replaced the bushes after last MOT so I know. :wink:

Thanks, I've asked about that one. I'll need to figure out the brackets but that seems doable. Mine definitely doesn't have front or rear ARBs, not sure why.

they wasnt standard fit when new
