Ooooh, wish I'd known that before going off to buy mine. I bought it because it was alloy thinking it must be right. Anyhoo got the right one by chance as I did measure it, part numbers splart numbers!

The 2 part numbers quoted by the op are both metal.
The MHB000261 is shown as fitting a ZR160 from vin number 600076 onwards,
and the other MHB000080 as being for a K series, high performance.

Perhaps someone could post a pic of a MHB000080 with a ruler across it, just to clear up the confusion.
As for quoting posts on .org as sources of good info....lol

if you still think it is necessary to use a tape rule to measure it, I'm gonna buy one and post the pic here.
