So.... when I cut out the rear section of my trunk pan for repair, I made a template for the little trapezoid reinforcement plates for the sway bar and... apparently threw it in the scrap bin and can't find it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) Could anyone be so kind as to shoot the measurements of those little dudes and maybe the gauge of steel if you know it? I'll go with 18g. unless someone says different, but would like to get the dimensions right. Stole this pic from a recent thread of what I'm talking about:

Thought I'd wrap this thread up. The Brad Mayeur kit looks like the way to go if you are adding a sway bar to a car that didn't have one. Mine already had one so already had the bracket and just needed the reinforcement to replace what came off when I replaced the rear trunk pan. I picked up a piece of 16g at Lowes for 6 bucks. If you have a strong grip, you can cut it with aviation snips, which is what I did. Punched holes for plug welds a stuck it in. Easy peasy. Thanks for the measurements Steve (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Here's one before grinding:
