front sway bar

[wiffs440]

just starting to install new hellwig front bar on my 67-440 cuda. anyone done this? i'll have to drill new holes for the bushings on the k member. should i attach the 2 ends first, at the shock mount, before drilling holes? dont know yet if i can clamp the bar to the k with c-clamps or vice grips. tiv

Usually the K-member has the slotted holes already there to attach the brackets to. Sometimes the holes don't line up exactly so you have to open them up with a drill but I haven't had to drill holes to install this bar on the A-bodies we tested on. I would check to see if you have any slotted holes in the K-member first.

no, there are no pre-existing holes as the car never had a bar. so i have to drill 2 new ones. i now have the links attached at the shock bolt, so i guess its a matter of dry fitting the bushings & tabs and then drilling.
