This is what I have for the front. My car did not have bars installed before. I have a UTab kit as well as what you see here.
What do the 4 small tabs do?

Are you going to use an inside bracket?

You're thread got me asking this question. I think that may be the only thing I'm missing.
I'll need to get some of those.

I made mine. Just found some steel the same thickness as the outside mounts & cut them with a jig saw then drilled the holes. The lower hole was the tricky one tho. Had to use AB epoxy to hold the nut to the plate while I screwed the bolt in from the fender well... and it worked (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif)

The four small tabs go in the arm at the end of the bar to clamp it to the square end. This is a lousy drawing but they are #30:

Get busy its been 4 days since you picked up the sway bar. Get it in the car.
Also there is a guy in New Albany, In. who is making the reinforcement plates. I will find his email for you.

I ordered his plates as soon as James posted his.
I'll pick them up at Doc & Cy's on Saturday.


Van,
I picked up all the sway bar stuff (F & R) from the blaster today and dropped them off at the powder coater.
I'm getting the brand & part # for the engine tin brad did for me and this stuff will match.

I just got back from my local CAT dealer. Man, what an awesome vendor! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) $3.81 worth of parts and they treat me like a million bucks. I got a couple pages from their parts catalog with part #'s and sizes I'll post later.

I went with 50mm for the above asked question. I hope that's big enough.
