Going from BMR Extreme to BMR 21mm rear sway bar
I'm turning the focus of the car away from drag racing and on to road racing.
Currently installed is the BMR Extreme Rear Sway Bar (with the rod-end end links and the weld-on chasis/frame rail mounting plates):
I'm going to be using this setup now:
Going from Extreme to 21mm involves retrofitting the stock style bushing end link tabs that hold the end links to the frame rail (used to be there- not anymore). I've spoken with BMR regarding the retrofit process, and they've given me direction as to how to go about with the retrofit, but I'd like know if anyone out there has actually done the retrofit.
Also, if anyone has any photos of their bushing style end links (installed) on hand, I would greatly appreciate seeing them, as I need to guage where to mount the stock style tabs which I purchased from GM.
Thanks.

Besides, the rod end links make a ton of fluttering noise, and I've grow tired of it.
Thanks anyhow for the suggestion!

Retrofitting involves cutting off the threaded rod that holds the top rod end of the end link. What's left is the flat L plate. I'm gonna have to remount (mechanically fasten) the GM tab over/next to that leftover weld-on plate using self threading screws.
