Thanks scott

a couple more mock pictures:





The brackets are finished, just need to order some aluminum rod ends and cut/drill the arms and my car will be back together.

I am trying to get it done by the 28th.

The sway bar is in the car finally.

I cut the arms down.



My dad drilled them out to save some weight.



This sway bar is twice the stiffness of the old bar and 3 pounds lighter.



I am not sure if those rod ends will make it on the final install. I am getting some bind at full bump and full droop.

Now ever suspension and steering attachment point front and rear is a spherical bearing.

A little bit more clearancing of the outer shock tower support and the car will be going back together. SCCA this Sunday is still my target.

Balitic fabrication has some cool concial spacers that will help with the binding.

I placed a McMaster order last night for some high misalignment rod ends. Those should work just fine. Plus I wanted them this week and did not want to wait for a new company to order from.

Thanks for the supplier info. I have seen them on the web before.

You might could use a little more thread engagement as well. Especially if you start using that inner adjustment hole on the arm.

That was a test fit trying to get less bind. The longer was not much better. My plan is to quick release pin the arm attachment on and not adjust the link length.

Update:

New motor mounts.

I re-made the side plates from aluminum. This took some weight off the front end and gave more adjustment.
