if you havn't found out yet you will also need the arse end of the T-18 tail shaft too..
if you break any axles, and t18 ones are hard to come by...just stop by the nearest RA40 celica and nip them out of that..cut about 3-4mm off the end, and whack them in..

Yeah the later models have swaybar mounts. The later models seem a tad rarer though, our parts car is the only later model we have seen around as opposed to about 6 early models including ours.

The T18 swaybar mounts are slightly different to Sprinter ones. The metal clamp for the bushing is bigger on the T18 and mounts slightly differently. So to make it work you need to either use your T18 swaybar bushes and T18 metal clamps or cut a slot in the mount to use your sprinter bush and sprinter metal clamp (for example if you have an aftermarket, bigger swaybar).
Don't worry, once you look at it it's really obvious, it just takes a bit of time with a drill and file to make the slots.
