i need to make the plates that will be welded to the front fenders under that gas tank for the 13mm front sway bar i have.

im planning on cutting them out of steel.

what thickness should i use?

i know i saw a template for them awhile ago but cant seem to find it now...
anyone know where it is?

match the triangle on the outside that holds the rubber or save yourself some trouble and buy them ready made with weld nuts from Engman (I think), 'cause your gonna need nutz to bolt the outer piece to.

yep, get the Engman plates
check the "parts & resources" forum for info

I made mine out of 3/16"- 1/4" plate shaped to match the trangular shaped impression on the wheel housing. I tapped the mounting holes- and even welded nuts onto the plates. Welded them on the inside gas tank area wheel housing. Now, I can remove the bushing retainer from the outside.

Ditto........I made mine from 1/4" plate, drilled/tapped them and welded them into place.

Anyone here kind enough to post the hole pattern for both the three mounting bolts as well as the diameter of the center hole for the sway bar plate? I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanls,

I was gonna say... make them outta some dead Presidents. Mark Bland (Engman). Good call.

There are some patterns on the bird site.

Can't go wrong with Engman's goodies. I've bought a few of his products and they are well made and a great value.
