[Nacho-RT74]

Found the bolts here around US$1.75 each one. same ones that you were offering me

Not that anyone listens to me but, I put a sway bar on my 68 Charger that I took
right off a 78 Dodge Aspen Police car. The bolts I took out of that car in 1980 were
original and correct. They are kind of a self tapping bolt on the first three threads
or so, if you have seen or have any of those bolts that hold the center caps on
the Magnum style wheels? that is about as close as I have ever seen to them
if not exactly the same. It has a 7/16 socket sized head to the bolt.

Dan, how much dii this additional layer of metal change your ride height?   Did this bar bolt right in, and how do you like it?  I find it a nice coincidence that the frame rails on both cars are thee same distance apart. (or close)

WOW I was not expecting to see this thread again, the sway bar plate is only about 1/4in thick maybe
a bit more so no it really does not change the rear end height that was done with the 1-1/2 lowering
blocks I made and put in there.
Yes I did notice an improvement for sure evan though it is a small bar. Yes I was surprised that it would
fit my B-Body, actually it surprised the guy at the junk yard more but I am not sure I ever took the car
back there to show them because they were ass$@les about the hole thing. They said it would never
fit well not only did it fit but I bolted it right in no mods at all 25yrs later still works great.

I didn't think to find this trheap ups again LOL...

Shame I couldn't install by the moments the sway bar, since plates I had to modify needs some extra job... the part where bolst the rods meets with axle tunnel so I have to heat it and give it a new shape.

I'm trying to install the non isolated kind to an isolated springs clamps kind with a separator to fill the clamp depression ( welding it to the plate ) but wasn't enoug to fit.

Some of you guys have an extra pair of isolated plastes kind ? like the ones posted by 1973WP29P

Nacho-RT74,

Couldn't you fill in the gap with a piece of flat stock?

Yes I could fill the gap between clamp and plate, in fact I weld the piece on to the plate, the problem right now is not there, is that I DON'T KNOW WHY THE HELL the area of the plate that lift up to bolt the sway bar rod, HITS with axle housing.
