Hey Phil, I agree with you on the binding if I had polly or rubber bushings. Since I have spherical ends (I think thats what they call them) I have no bind issues at all. It could have gone either way I suppose though. I have a Wolfe double adjustable anti-sway bar coming one of these years for this one...

When I had the 12 bolt and the Spohn drag bar before, I had to turn the HAL's (that I used to have) to clear the adjustment ****, would have been much better if the shock was turned in that application like you mention for both the shock adjustment, and binding issues for that setup.

BTW, Enterprise Motorsports custom made me the brackets from scratch, they made the whole rear for me actually.

I see i have the bearings as well it s the only way to get away from the binding issue. I wish i had a templet of the bracket you have Ha I make all of my stuff but that **** looks water jet cut. Back to the roll bar is it in frame are under rear. I am going to go with the double over the rear if i ever get time to make one. The BMR has been on the car sense it was a all street car and has always worked so i just have never chaged from it. What brakes are you going with in the back double calipers? i want to use wilwood duels but they dont make one for the basterd end i have. But i have found you can put olds ends on and the axel to bearing offset is the same as our cars . just info for the hungry

Yeah, he does good work, nothing water jet cut, all hand made. I went with the double under the rear drag bar as I still have a sumped aluminum fuel tank above for now. I went with the dual strange rear brake setup for mine. Wish I had the time, equipment and skill to fab my own stuff, but I'll leave that to the pro's .
