For Sale, my Original Equipment 0.81 diameter Torsion Bars from my 1971 Dodge Dart GT. $75.00 plus shipping gives them a new home.
They're marked for left and right side installation, and I took these off my Dart GT several weeks ago. They have about 88,000 miles of use. If you're looking for a period correct resto these may be what you want.

hmm. i may want those for my dart. /6 70 but im puttin a 360 in it so itd handle better with those. no idea how to install or anything though
 
I did the removal of these and the install of the new ones myself in my garage w/o any help, and it went fairly well. The one tool you have to have IMHO is the Torsion Bar Removal Tool.
 
You never know with ma mopar.

.810" is \6
.850" is heavy duty \6 and light duty sb v8 (318)
.870" is heavy duty sb v8
.890" is bb block.
 
Unless I am seeing it wrong, looks like one of them is an "892" bar, which would be a .87 diameter 340 bar. Where did you come up with a .81 diameter?

From the "081" stamping on the end; incorrect guess on my part?
If it is, I stand corrected, and gratefully so.
 
Don't remember what that number is, but it's not the diameter. The part number is above it, and it's just the last 3 digits. Look on the chart in the BigBlockDart link, they have new part numbers but the old ones are in parenthesis, 2535892 and 3, .87 diameter 340 bars.

Roger that, will check them and compare against the numbers listed.
Thanks for the assist on this.
 
Well, as it turns out they are stamped "893L" and "892R", which apparently makes them the 0.87 inch diameter 340 SB torsion bars.
My apologies for not knowing what I have, but they remain available if anyone has a need for them.
 
Im interested in buying, no questions asked! If you still have them that is. I have a 1971 plymouth valiant scamp and the drivers side torsion bar snapped in half!!
