Hotchkis front sway bar

[Bandit360]

I posted a question to an older thread about my new Hotchkis sway bar.  Mounting it so the Hotchkis logo can be read results in the sway bar being upside down, with the center "bump" on the sway bar facing down so it follows the curve of the K frame.  FSM clearly shows it goes the other way.  I'll just remove the Hotchkis decal so it's not upside down. No front sway bar on the car when I bought it, oversteered quite a bit.  Also missing the radiator to K frame bracket, is that the reason for the "bump" facing up?

I bought this car fairly complete, just working out a couple of mistakes made when it was reassembled.  It has a SSBC disc brake conversion.  Had no parking brake cable for the rear and couldn't figure out why.  Turns out the kit was reversed side to side, so that the calipers were at 2 o'clock instead of 10-11 o'clock.  Fixed that pretty easily and added in the parking brake cable as it would now fit, but now I notice that the front brakes also seem to be backwards.  I wonder if that was intentional to prevent interference with the sway bar.  Looks like the sway bar should clear if they were mounted properly with the calipers on the front though. Anybody out there put in a Hotchkis bar with SSBC disc conversion?

I have a the Right Stuff 4-disc brake kit and their instructions say to mount the calipers towards the back of the rotor if you have a swaybar.  Not enough clearance I suppose.

I did, for a short while. SSBC's ditched in favor of Wilwoods. Front calipers were hung towards the front as per instructions.
My rear parking brake cable also was not long enough, had to order a custom length cable. That is gone now as well.
Yes, bump in sway bar is to clear the K-frame bracket.
