Pirate Jacks front disc kit question
Here's a set of 1972 and earlier LCAs positioned to illustrate the position of the sway bar tabs.
Straight edge against outer part of the tab.
In the same position, notice how the LCAs aren't parallel, which illustrates the position of the tab.
When they are sort of parallel, note how the tabs appear crooked.
I guess all this really illustrates is that sometimes it can be hard to visualize a 3D object in two dimensions.
Since when the front-hung, single piston brakes were introduced for 1973 the sway bar tabs were moved inward, I'm guessing avoiding interference was at least one reason for doing so.
I still think the best solution is a shorter bolt and a little thinner nut loctited on. Maybe a little grinding on the tab if it still needs clearance.
