1964 Valiant "Get Runnin & Drivin"
Ok, so I finally got around to installing my rear sway bar on Vixen. It turned out ok. I had to get some 2.5" u bolts and fab up some C channel brackets for the rear end tubes, since the 7.25 uses 2.5" tubes and of course the kit comes with 3" brackets and 3" u bolts. But that was no big deal. I also had to get longer link kits, as the links in the kit were way too short, but it's all worked out now. Notice on the frame attachment for the links I cut two 1/4" plates and welded them to the frame rails for reinforcement in that area, since it's a common problem for the little u bolts that hold the link brackets to the frame to actually tear out of the frame. I wire brushed that whole area and then sprayed it down with rubberized undercoating. Anyway, here's the end result.
