Sorry it took so long to back on how to make the Hotchkis swaybar work. For mounting on a 1965 Dart. First you have to mount the bracket to the lower control arms like the direction tell you. Except tilt the top of the bracket level with the car as it sit or you will have leaning inward, like I did in the picture. Had to change it. Now for the front backets, as you look at the picture of the bracket. Cut the lowest bend that is on the bracket, next to the card board, that it is sitting on, on the left side bottom. You want to cut the flat piece off. Now on the right side, cut the bend off, that is on the right side of the flat bushing mount so you have just an "L" piece. Sorry no picture on this. Now add a piece of metal 3/4 wide to the right side , that is the same lenth as the bushing mounting surface. You may have to add a 1/8" to weld it to the cut off bend area. Now you should have a "U" shape bracket. Mount it straight up and down on the K-frame at the bends on the k-frame. Making sure both brackets are square and on the swaybar. I put the swaybar bottom level with the center of the K-frame. Hope this helps. What a headache this was to figure out.
