'Sherrie' my 86 Oxford White CV Coupe

[clutch47]

Got the swaybars back from 3-D scannerguy.
The bad news is not bad at all.
He can't manufacture them. The bending is beyond his capability without buying a different press, and that would push the finished cost to solid gold levels for the first 1K produced.

All is not lost. There is a foundry near me that does forgings.

I will have the files in my email when he sends me an invoice. Should be any day.
Getting there.

Anyone have a good part number or source for bushings that will fit these in the original brackets?
I just got home and didn't have a chance to measure the diameter yet.

Finally found some time to get the rear sway mounted.
Initially I had concerns that it wouldn't clear the cast differential cover, but it's fine. There's 3/8" or more clearance.
Mounted with original bolts without issue.
A few pix just for visual stimulation.

Looking good!

Took Sherrie to an appointment last evening and fell in love all over again.
On the way home I listened to some old ZZ Top.
"Just got back from Babys" continues to blow me away every time..

I love ZZ Top before Eliminator. Tejas is my favorite album, but the first is good. Shakin' Your Tree is a great tune. Frank Beard really doesn't get the recognition he deserves on the drum kit.

I agree on Frank not getting his just dues.
Listening to the earlier albums and hearing those 3 legends NOT be in perfect time on a few occasions only cements their perfection in my noggin.
