Default Anti roll bar help please?

I have a UK spec 4WD LT Blazer. The previous owner in his infinite wisdom, decided to fit US lower wish bones on the front suspension. The problem here is that the US spec wishbones (readily available) have a different mounting point for the anti roll bar the the UK spec wishbones (not so easy to come by). I have therefore decided to purchase either a US spec bar and have it shipped over to me, new or used if anyone has one? Or I get one made here in the UK, but they need a drawing with sizes etc to be able to make one.
Can anyone help me out here please? Its getting closer to the annual test time and I can't see it passing as it currently is set up.

Thanks for any help or advice in advance.

I've got a 95 LT 4wd. I actually have my front anti roll bar removed from the vehicle, as I'm installing a lift. What measurements do you need? Also, I'm not sure how much shipping, etc, would cost, but blazers are a dime a dozen in junk yards around me. I'm sure I could snag you one, and ship it.

I think I still have the one I removed from mine when I did the SAS, but I doubt it would be cost-effective to ship it across the pond.

PM me an address (at least a city) and I'll get an estimate. It's a couple of hundred miles away from me right now, so I can't get exact measurements or weight.
