How did you mount those rod ends on your original sway bar? I'm looking for the same solution for my temporary "fix" until I have a speedway bar w/ arms. I can't find the pics you showed that had a shot of the sway abr in it.

I made 2 "L" shaped brackets. I will find them tonight. I will post a picture and if you want them I can send them. I will also try and find one of the pictures I posted on here before.
Again you are welcome to my original set.

for what size rod ends are they? I'm using 1/2" on the sway bar, 5/8 is overkill IMO.
