I have a factory supplied rear stabilizer bar for HillKing. My question is has anyone out there installed one of these into a car that did not have one from factory? Looking at the Stoddard book they show a 914.507.027.10 "securing plate" for 75-76 year car and a 914.501.259.11GVR for 73-74 cars. They also show part 914.501.532.71 reinforcement for both securing plates. Pelican shows this in their diagrams as well. Looking at the car there appears to already be holes for the bolt up stamped in the sheetmetal under the trunk crossbrace. So it looks as if the securing plate goes into the void between the upper engine compartment sheet metal and the trunk cross brace. Do you have to cut out on the topside to mount the securing plate and I assume the "reinforcement" would weld on after? Anybody using this setup?

I wouldn't use a rear sway bar unless you have an LSD......or even then, come to think of it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I've always had a rear sway bar in my 914s and thought they were fine. wheel lift ... on a car *without* substantial stiffening like full rollcage tied into the shock towers etc. you'll twist the tub when cornering hard. the rear swaybar will lift the unloaded tire up in the air and instead of going forward, all the uhmmmpf goes into spinning the unloaded tire ...
