Can you give me some advice on the best spot to locate my sway bar arms?
Dear Welder Series…
Dear Mike…
Hi, Mike.1) The actual sway bar is 45” long. One end has 1” of spline. This bar is designed to be used as-is or cut to length. We also have 45” bars splined both ends. The 3/8” thick arms mount outside the bar, so if the 45” bar was used as is, the distance outside the arms would be 45-3/4”.2) The supplied outer tube is 1-3/8” OD and 43” long.3) The under frame mounting bracket:4) The lower axle mounts for the links can be taken out of the kit:5) I don’t have a single drawing of the whole kit. Dimensions for the various parts should all be on the website.Welder Series is a “builder supply” company and, as such, all parts are available individually. They are shown on our website with dimension details. Please get in touch again if we can give you some other info.Thanks for looking at our parts for your project.Paul Horton
Dear Welder Series…
Good morning. I am getting ready to put an order together and had a few questions,
Dear Mike…
Good questions.
1. All of our transmission mounts work with the 2268 and 31158G insulator. These insulators both fit your T56 trans. Regarding the crossmembers, http://welderseries.com/Transmission-Mounts-Crossmembers-c13290625, your shifter handle mounting area might hit the crossmember of the 2115 style. If you want to use this mount, the crossmember could be notched for clearance. I like the 2115 because it adds a crossmember to the frame and the drop-out saddle makes it easy to remove the trans.2. The rod end links in the sway bar kit allow for left-to-right movement during suspension travel. For more info about sideways movement, you could read https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BxUbZIT8qqYCdmF2N2RCR2MxQlU/edit .3. We do have stainless exhaust hangers. Stainless hangers are referenced SS, mild steel MS. Flanges are also available in MS and SS material.Thanks again for looking at Welder Series for your project.Paul Horton
Dear Welder Series…
Hey DW.
Hope all is well sir
Am working on a 39 Chev that someone has grafted a Camaro (I think) clip on with stock control arms.
I can’t get the factory sway bar in around the bottom of the rad etc.
Do you have parts available in your universal sway bar kit(s) to make something work?
Regards,
John
Dear John…
Good morning, John. Paul Horton here.The tube that encloses our sway bar is 1-3/8” diameter and installs straight across the frame. It can go below, through, or above the frame, 8 – 10” behind or in front of where the sway bar arms will link to the upper or lower control arms. In an IFS installation, often the outer tube is slightly longer than the outside width of the frame where it mounts. The arms have to be bent for tire clearance in a turn.I’m not familiar with the stock Camaro bar and where it doesn’t clear, but maybe the above info and the pics on the web store will give you some ideas. You could email pics to info@welderseries.com and I’d see if I could make some suggestions.Thanks for considering our sway bar.Paul Horton
Dear Welder Series…

Dear Welder Series…
Attached are pictures of my plan for the Welder Series rear sway bar kit that I am installing on my ’32 Ford project. At this time it is tacked in place and I think it will work as I hope. I still need to tweak the positioning. I ran the bar through the square tube crossmember and the arms ended up directly over the rear axle. Also you can see the Welder Series exhaust hangers near the transmission tail housing and one behind the pipe passing over the rear axle. These are the parts that I recently ordered from you.
Here are some pictures of the installation of a universal sway bar on a 1942 Chevy pickup. I installed it to the rear of the a arm because it gave me much more room. It was going to be very close to and possibly hitting on the tie rods for the rack and pinion steering. I was very pleased with the sway bar and the installation. I will and have recommended your products. Thanks so much,
Jim
Do you have sway bar that is 37 1/2 inches from eye to eye?
Attached pics show before and after your sway bar materials were installed on my 1959 Daimler SP250
I am interested in your anti roll/sway bar kit you have, I am wondering if it is good for the street or only for racing.
Do you make your universal sway bar in 0.500 inch diameter. The 48 Plymouth Conv I'm working on never had a rear sway bar and I may not be able to use anything greater than 0.750 on the front.
Don has been sending progress pictures of his Healey build for a while now... I hope he still has $50 of Welder Series parts to buy, because he's the winner of this months photo sharing draw!
Congrats, Lou! Thanks for sending the pictures of your sway bar install. There is $50 on your account at Welder Series.
While I was at Tucci Hot Rods last week, I installed a Welder Series universal sway bar on the giveaway car they're building for the NSRA this year. It was a good exercise- installing something you sell ;)
