Obtain two exhaust clamps that fit the rear axle housing diameter. Fit the roll bar 'frame mounting clamps' so they will attach to the axle clamps just before the nuts go on. Trial fit the bar so the correct ends are in the best position each side. Position this assembly so there is min interference with the right side lower shock mounting. Test this by raising the car at least 4 inches and by allowing for chassis drop from uneven road surfaces. Fab two L brackets of sufficient thickness and width to bolt to the frame, that will line up with the roll bar eyes in a straight line eye to bracket hole. Make the link bolts from 5/16th reddy rod with nuts and washers each side to adjust the spacing as required with rubber or polly bushings or cut spacer tubes to set the distance in lue of the inner nuts.
Good post. To add to that, if using exhaust clamps to mount the bar to the axle, be sure to tack weld the clamps to the axle once you have them located where you want them. Otherwise they'll spin around the axle tubes as the bar flexes and eventually wear grooves in the axle.
yeah, i have a rear sway bar off of a 69 ford galaxie wagon i may want to try this with. pics would be a tremendous help.
Thanks for the information. I appreciate it (I really do), but I don't want to "fab" anything. If I can't buy a hardware kit that is ready to install, I'm just gonna spend the $150 and get the complete Addco rear bar...
Don't have a pic of one mounted on my cars 'cause I haven't gotten 'round to it yet. I just like to give advice on things I don't know anything about. However there's pics of one installed on MavMark's car here: http://www.maverick.to/mmb/showthread.php?t=17079&highlight=rear+sway+bar
