I have to pull my tank out to replace some lines and other stuff so now seems like the perfect time to put in a sway bar. I'd rather fab the plate than buy it (college student budget), and remember seeing a .dwg or picture with its dimensions. Does anyone have a copy of those or know the dimensions? The only one I'm really concerned about is the bolt spacing.

Thanks. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Bird Board has a template for drilling the holes that is printable off their site.

Whatever bolt you want. But please, stick with metric/original and use 8mm x 1.25 bolts. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

The factory also ran a skinny ass sway bar that didn't put much stress on the surrounding sheet metal.

If you think you might decided to upgrade your sway bar in the future, do yourself a favor and weld in a backing plate ...
