Diesel Engine bars -which do I have/need?

Post by mig »

I have decided to bite the bullet and replace my dead 32 year old 1.9 wbx with a 1.6 SB diesel.
First of no doubt many questions,
I have an 1982 van with 5 speed box
These are the engine bars I have

I have no idea what they are from,are there differences between 4 and 5 speed bars early and late vans, or window and panel vans? I have searched the forum and can't find a definitive answer.
Does anyone know if these will fit?
Thanks

As I know differences are early/late related (and maybe syncro ones are different).
The engine is about an inch backwards on the later ones. (lower in the pic below)

They were changed in september 1982
