Sway bar tabs

[Blackheart]

I am putting a Hellwig sway bar on my 63 Fury, is there any reason that this wouldn't be a solution for attaching the sway bar to the LCAs?

I just like the bolt on as opposed to figuring out where to weld tabs. Is there room on the LCA to bolt this or am I barking up the wrong tree?

This is how the sway bar was attached on the a 1964 Polara. I realize this isn't exactly what you are going for, but it seems there isn't a lot of room on the Lower Control arm to be drilling holes.

Looks like the sway bar is attached to the strut arm in the rear..

Yes, it is. Here is a little better picture of how it is attached.

Grubby, is that a factory set up or after market?

 

[grubby65]

Factory, here is the page out of the parts book.

Just one thought. If you are going with a disc brake conversion you have to go with rear mounted calipers if you have the factory sway bar. Which I found out the hard way. The front mounted calipers interfere with the mounting bracket from the sway bar to the struts.

funny, I was just going to ask about that!
Is an aftermarket sway bar available and in a stock type set up? I've looked around but haven't found anything pre 66.

Firmfeel makes a couple for the 63. Pictures show my install. The angle tabs attach with the shock mounting bolts. Works great.
