Torsion Bar Crossmember Anchor CARNAGE-Where to get new one?
these plates shown by curly's racecars would be a good addition to a solid crossmember but add them front and rear and closer to the torsion bar anchor so as to be welded to the crossmember and the torsion bar anchor, in other words leave a gap and weld to the crossmember then make a second pass and weld to the torsion bar anchor. I ran pro figure eights on a 1/4 mile asphalt track and can tell you that it was working the suspension, iItried running with a sway bar but got quicker times and better handling with no sway bar might sound absurd but when I did that it did put more work onto the torsion bar anchors I feel.

Wow thats crazy. Hopefully everyone survived safely. I have made some torsion bar crossmember gussets, to help the common problem of the sockets twisting in the crossmember itself...but Im pretty sure these would not have helped in your case. As mentioned, talk to waggs and get a factory piece coming to you.
