different rear sway bar mount sizes?

I am moving to a 24mm sway bar but don't have the metal mounts that mount to the frame and house the rubber. However I do have my current ones to my 22mm and ones from a 26mm.... a local shop had an old part book from the 80s and it only listed one part number for those metal c clamp mounts.

Are they all the same? I know the fronts vary and can effect handling if the wrong ones are used by putting too much pressure on the rubber part of the mount.

Any info would be appriciated....

prothane and energy both sell those bushings they will fit in the same brackets you have as long as you get the corvette ones that are rounded on the sides like the original

The 24mm rear sway bar bushings I ordered from Prothane included the metal clamps.

mounting brackets are the same, its the diameter of the hole in the insulator that is different. each size sway bar has its own hole diameter. just get the correct insulator.
