I spent the morning redesigning it slightly for more yield from a stock sheet size. Production versions will be made of 1/8" thk & 1/4" thk aluminum. These were made from scrap left over from my Steering Braces. Lon

You have to upload it differently, I got it to show by right clicking and following the source.

Cool! Anyone ever given thought to adjusting the endlinks to keep the bar parallel to the ground esp with lowered car?

The plate mounts between the left front sway bar bushing and the frame. Adding spacers in between transfers more load to the right rear tire. "For better 60 foot times, shim your front sway bar on the left side with washers. Put as many as is necessary, 4 to 5 is a good reference point. This improved my 60 ft. times by almost a tenth, 1.91 to 1.83. The washers should be placed between the steel sleeve and the two washers on either side that hold the bushings."
