    1st gen, 28 mm bar as shown in the attached picture. They are a UHMW plastic like delrin and locate the links by sandwiching the front lower control arm.

    I need chassis to sway bar bushings as well.

    Also, being the idiot that I am, I can not remember which way the sway bar is oriented on the car. In the picture, are we looking at the RH or LH side?

    Thanks,
    Tom Sprecher

    Tom, I run a custom fabbed unit on my car, so I am not familiar with that peice. You might want to try:

    Ground Control
    Racing beat
    ISC

    to start.

    It looks like a basic rod end, with nuts threaded on the threaded section to capture the delrin bits.

    IIRC G-Force Engineering sells the sway bar to chassis "pillow blocks" in delrin.

    I looked for your name at the ARRCs, but didn't see you. I was hoping you'd be there.

    it's hard to tell from that pic, but I would guess that's the left hand side and the bar is upside down in the pic.

    these should work for the endlinks:

    not sure what size the bar is, but these might work for that:

    Jake,

    I saw you on the grid friday for Q2. I said "I know the name "Jake Gulick" and introduced myself "from Improved Touring.com" and shook your hand, "Good Luck". I wished I had gone up afterwards to see you guys in the "NE paddock". Maybe next time.

    Russ,

    I checked ReSpeed and came up with what you found. For the price of the "pillow blocks" I'll order them to see if they work along with some other stuff as well. The sway ram bushing won't work as my bar is 28mm but when on the phone with them I'll ask about that size.

    If you guys know anything about the ISC 3rd link see my post regarding the same.

    Thanks,


    Tom Sprecher

    Ah HA!

    YOU'RE the guy! LOL..You got me with like a minute or two to go, and I was a bit distracted. I couldn't hear you that well, and after the race thought, "Hmmmm....who WAS that guy who shook my hand with 1 to go??"

    Now I know...sorry if I was less than chatty!

    I responded to the third link thing in that thread.
