It's pretty simple. We made some LCA stiffening plates that have an integral sway bar tabs. I've got pics on another computer. The frame mounts come with the bar (factory or aftermarket).

We made them. I'll get on the other computer later and post some pics. I copied the LCA plates from AndyF and just made the tabs as part of the plates.

Here ya go........
Bear in mind that there should also be a reound hole int he center of the plate to allow access to the LCA bumper bolt. Alan is running 1.14 torsion bars and has the car so low the LCA bumper had to be removed.

I installed an ADDCO Front Sway Bar on my '68 Dart GT daily driver, which did not have a sway-bar or mounts as a factory option. The ADDCO bracketry was all bolt-on. You do have to drill out by about 1/16" two existing holes in the K Member for the two Sway bar mounts. The elastomer endlinks connect to the existing lower shock mounts by an "L" bracket supplied by ADDCO. All necessary mounting hardware is included. Total install time was under two hours. It's been on for over a year now, and I'm very satisfied with the improvement it afforded. http://www.addco.net/aftermarket.htm The Sway bar and mounting hardware on my Dart looks like this one:  DISCLAIMER: I am not connected in any way with ADDCO Sway Bars other than as a satisfied customer. |
