That is where I am ordering from, strange picture showing two different...I ordered mine from PST and they both looked like the plate on the bottom. Went on real nice and easy.

Another question, does anyone make weld on anti sway bar mounts?
Do these work well when installed. I've replaced everything but torsion bars and will be replacing rubber on those after I get my motor finished. If like to stiffen the ride up a bit better

So you just weld that plate onto the torsion bar to reduce flexing? Do i should be able to get a flat piece of metal cut it and weld it on. Are the holes in the metal needed for access?
I’m guessing the benefit of taking the slip out of the socket is that once the LCA is bolted in place, it’s true that the socket can’t move but if there’s slop there, the LCA can move on the socket.I dont see the reason to keep the torsion bar socket tight, no slop. When you tighten up the adjusters, all movement is gone. Wont move. I can see the stiffening benefit..

Food for thought....Thanks....Purchased this kit, thanks all....Exactly!
Yeah, with weight on the adjusters the socket and LCA shouldn’t move independently as a whole assembly. But, the slop around that socket is space for the LCA to flex into or around on. The less space there is, the less room there is for twist/flex/deformation.
That’s not something you’ll notice driving around on bias ply’s, which is why the factory wasn’t too concerned about it. But slap some big wide modern radials with a 200 treadwear compound and 300 in/lb torsion bars and you’ll find all kinds of things get flexy.
You don't weld ANYTHING to the torsion bar. Just the plate on the bottom of the LCA.
And yes, you can use any kind of metal, you can make your own plates. Really you don't need a plate that runs the length of the LCA, just a few straps or bars that connect the open bottom of the LCA. You can't weld a solid plate on though, because you need access to the torsion bar adjusters.
The video covers everything, and explains the process very well.

Thank you!!!!
Thanks again.....Tim.
Those are 66-69 B Body tabs.
Most likely buying them from Hotchkis.
They aren't for 65-72 A body cars.
Save your money, not for your A body.
B body tabs mount on the top of the arm, and the shock absorber bolt goes through it.
A body tabs, mount on the bottom of the LCA.
Was not, this one. I was hopin gto stat away from the shock mounted bracketTim.
Thinking this over for a bit, i guess one could use 66-69 B Body sway bar mounts tabs, as the proper factory style 65-72 A body mount tabs aren't repoped.
One would have to weld the B body ones, onto the LCA, onto the top of the arm, and hook up the end links of the sway bar, to that mount.
Now all this is for a factory sway bar.
Don't personally know about aftermarket bars in their style, or manufacturer, in how they mount them onto the LCA.
Using the factory mount locations, or their own designed custom mounts, for their bar.
Are you intending to use, a Factory sway bar?
