Tight is the torque setting,
no bigger then 24mm is the bar size. make sure you brace the front end as even a 24mm will flex a 65, did you put torque boxes in it?

torque boxes are installed..
The car had a 21mm in when I got it, is that too small.
No torque settings for either bolts, or ball joints?

Stay with the 21 mm bar. It is larger than stock while not placing to much load on the frame. It is easy to change if you need to or want to in the future.
I will someday think of something clever to say.
