There is a right way to do wrong **** and I just explained one of them to you!
Nobody, not even you would ever notice it was sanded on and it is a mechanically safe and sound fix. You could probably sand 1/16 off of the end of that torsion bar and that clip will pop in right where it is supposed to go, done over and on the road. :burnout:
To be perfectly Frank, you could probably cut it off in a band saw, and I wouldn't know the difference. Half the time I get so freaking confused, I don't know my *** from a hole in the ground. I'm going to agree with you also, because I'm always reading about the guy, who knows the guy who broke a T Bar. The freaking things are used in off road trucks, getting banged up on rocks all day, and in the backs of outlaw cars that are on two wheels, climbing over another going into mad turns. They probably don't car if you damage them, as much as folks think.
But you still have a T bar that isn't in it's socket correctly, and god knows what else. A drive train that is out of alignment with the rear axle, a LCA that further forward on one side, than the other. An UCA that throws more camber than it should to one side, and less on the other. All this geometry doesn't matter to some people. Read how many posts there are of strange vibrations, harmonics that appear at one speed, and not another. Even people who have said, " My torque converter bolts keep backing out, despite the use of lock-tight. ( That's extreme, but it's up here every few months.) Vibrations are the worst thing to introduce to a car.Just watch any film of a ford SOHC 427 at high rpm, when a rocker guide goes, and that 6 foot chain makes minced meat of a dyno.

Besides the fact that if you put all that money, and bloody knuckles into it, don't you want people to say, " He really put some thought into engineering that. " I would be out in 28 degree weather, getting my *** kicked by a 3300 lbs mass produced piece of crap, unless I thought, " I can build something from this."
