Early A-Body front sway bar help?

Hi Geoff,

Those 'old school' set ups that bolt onto the reaction rods are as useless as a chocolate tea pot...

I converted to VG Valiant disc brakes, and at the same time added the sway bar, all these 'bits' were under my parents house from back when I build my VG Pacer Hardtop back in the mid-1980's! Never throw anything out, you WILL need it! Because my original Dodge lower control arms were in nicer condition than the VG/VH ones I had, I cut the sway bar mounts off and welded them onto the Dodge lower control arms in the correct positions.

Then, I fabricated some nice brackets for the inner sway bar mounts fron 5mm steel, tacked those in position. I then removed the k-frame and fully welded everything and painted. It handles great, I'm really happy with the end result! Here's a few pictures, happy to answer any more questions.

Cheers, Nigel

Thanks Nigel, that's what I am wanting to do to the AP5 but the wider bar was the bit that gets me. Did you alter the bar any or did it fit okay?
After many years too I have realised you will never need it until you get rid of it. Had some really good stuff too. I guess you can never have enough storage space.
