Is this the mount for a underbody swaybar from a 911?
Is it somehow compatible with the throughbody sway bar?
Is it just welded on?

You'll need to cut and grind that mount off for a thru body style bar.

These are from Tarett Engineering

They are the weld on style (how the factory did it.)

Or... you could buy my 20mm "underbody" sway bar for dirt. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Blasted clean... POR-15'd. Ready to bolt on.

If you like, I can sell you one that does.
They are rare and expensive though, so be prepared to pay serious money (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

I had a 911 with an underbody bar, but I never even looked up under there..

I think I like that, it's funky.

Anyone have a good set of a-arms with the mounts already there... besides the ones that are being mangled upthread?

I just cut the mounting tabs off and will be using the Smart Racing Bar.

I was getting ready to weld new ones on when Mueller clued me in that the SRB clamps onto the diagonal supports on the A-arms.

I cant find a installed pic on the control arm.. but you will get the idea from this pic.

The part with the arrow clamps around the round support tube on the control arm.

Some think this setup keeps the drop link out of potential bind when you set the bar on full stiff (because of its location relative to the drop link)
