Happy Turkey Day to all, (even if it is almost over)
43 hours, day 6, 84 days to go.
I went out back to my private junk yard to scrounge for another front sway bar. I found several, took one up to lay against the other CR bar which is for the other CR. Seemed to be fairly close only weighs less than half the CR bar. I think is is from a mustang II that I parted out about 15 years ago.
Prefit it prior to derusting and painting, looked like it was gonna be ok. Cleaned it and painted it and installed on car. The only difference I can tell so far is that it seems to be about 3/4 inch shorter. This should not be a problem. Instead of mounting the threaded eye swivel inside the U metal fastener it will mount just in front of it. I will make a spacer to keep from squeezing the u fastener closed and mount it. I need to wait until the motor and trans are in the car and it is sitting on all fours again. This way i can determine if the downward bolt that connects the bar to the swivel eye needs to be longer or the same. I want the bar to be as close to parrellel as possible when connected and under weight of the vehicle.
This redo took about 3 hours total, then block sanded firewall some, then reprimed again, then in order to kill time I began to deburr the motor for a short time.
I will try to do some research to see if this is a mustang II bar and if so let you guys know, others might like to change over, but sounds like most people already have.
