I'm assuming this is a "dealer-installed" option. Was this typical on 74's with dealer-installed sway bars?

Not dealer
But probably DAPO (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) Put the tank back in and pretend you never seen it. |

Clean it with a good degreaser and use metal ready on it. Spot weld in some metal and then you can use POR-15 epoxy putty to seal the seams. then apply POR-15 It's not going to be seen, so, it doesn't have to be pretty. Unless you are going for a concourse type car. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

Unfortunately you have to do something like that in order to install a sway bar on a non-sway bar car. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sad.gif) It's a bit excessive, but nothing too dramatic.
(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/agree.gif) Some MetalReady, maybe a coat of some sort of paint and call it done. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) |

So what does a "sway bar" car look like... now that I have seen a non-sway bar one? |

A sway bar car has the metal reinforcing plate with the three nuts attached (spot welded) from the outside, so no cutout on the inside.

personally...I'd get the reinforcement plates from engman and put in there. They are metal...triangular shaped with the bolts welded on. With the outer bracket bolted through using this it strengthen things up more then just the fenderwell sheet metal. Better yet...weld it in!
