I remember this car from a devious thread about 15 years back I run in vintage wheel to wheel and also run a rear sway bar. (Upsized from stock) I am curious as to how you mounted the rear sway bar. Pelican has a kit that requires welding the mount with a reinforcement in the trunk, I think but I was wondering about bolt in brackets mainly because I am not a good (I'm really bad) welder. I, too am curious about the devious post!!!!!! |

Welcome back. If this is what you refer to using for the rear sway bar mounts, it is not enough by itself. You need to weld in an opposing piece of 1/8" that is slightly larger overall to sandwich the trunk floor. Otherwise the trunk floor will begin to have stress cracks. I just corrected that on mine a few months back. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) https://www.pelicanparts.com/More_Info/RRSW...amp;SVSVSI=0719

Pelican recommends reinforcement of the floor for that very reason. Based on the position, it looks like some sort of welded arrangement plus reinforcement is the best. It's been years since I repaired the Hell hole on my previous car. Back to YouTube I guess. Thanks again. |
