Default Anyone make a Delrin swaybar mount?

In light of the new NASA rules on the 255 tire I may end up going back to stock sways. Anyone make a delrin bar mount so I can make them as stiff as possible?

I have not found any. Might be worth it to have a machine shop make a few sets of 2 piece blocks for the F/R. The brown delrin is best (the stuff the Phoenix uses - I think it is glass impregnanted).
I'm in.

http://www.emachineshop.com/ probably pricey, but do your own.

Can you modify the bars in any way to stiffen them.....ie drill new holes closer to the bars centerline? Or run really long/short heims to make the angle as tight as possible...90deg is the softest.

No mods to the bars or links are allowed w/o points penalty.

so if you run stock bars, you must run stock end links, which means you can't accurately corner balance....... awesome

Super awesome... we've asked for them to make adjustable endlinks a no-points mod for 2012, but haven't gotten the official word on all the changes. We do know that the Hoosier 255/35/18 A6 is being treated the same as the 275 so I lose 6 mod ponits
