This method of attachment would also give infinite adjustability. As I have a few parts laying around the garage I'm going to give this a try once the struts return. Thoughts???

I've also determined that a straight 1" (aka 25mm) rod will fit through the front subframe where the stock 18mm pre-bent bar runs now. Though not as low-cost, a splined 1" diameter bar is available from a variety of sources as are blank arms that connect to the splines. The arms would need to be bent and drilled, but I have fab and heat treat sources. The mounts will need to be dropped down and rearward as well. I will get dimensions tomorrow and costs next week.

Hi Todd, this was pretty close to what I had Dave Clark do for Bill. He ended up putting a slight offset in the front bar to be sure that it cleared the oil pan. The stiff front bar shreds the endlinks pretty quickly. I'm surprised that Bill has not commented yet in this thread. :-)
