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?

"Funny" things happen to 914s as you add increased grip.
Finding the good set up to optimize each new set of stickier tires as one progresses thru the stages to.... wherever, is a challenge. Here's a couple pics separated by 4 years. In the green car pic, notice the curved black line following the car around. In the yellow car pic, notice the weight transfer to the outside rear tire. Same car, different set up, but a similar situation.....accelerating (or trying to) around a corner. No rear sway bar. Attached image(s) |
