O.K. I got the front sway bar figured out with your help here on the forum.
Now the rear bar has got me more preplxed then the front.According to the instructions the link assembly bolts to the rear out most u-bolt holding the leaf spring. Well the brake piston / bleeder is in the way. The only way that I see that I can make this work is mounting to the front u-bolt. Is this O.K. to do or

am I missing something?
 
tdskip,

You may want to fab another mounting plate that will be fastened to to the spring plate using two bolts. This looks like side loads may try to unscrew the one nut. You may also want to move the sway bar so that the end of the bar is centered over axle. A triangluar shaped plate would allow the the bar pick up point to locate between the spring and the brake backing plate and be attached to both ends of the outer U bolt. This would accomplish both objectives, 2 mounting points and centering the end of the bar.
 
That doesn't looks right at all. Call them. They're in N.C. dba www.swaybars.com. For some reason, they list a different rear bar for the 3A and 3B on their site.
 
The instructions that came with the sway bar is for a TR3 This is a addco brand.
I like the idea of fabing a new plate to center it under the axel As soon is it warms up a bit. It is about 50 degrees right now out side. (just a little weather humor)

Addco list two rear bars for TR3, one for TR3A and one for TR3B. I don't know what is the difference in the rear bar and didn't think the rear suspension was any different in these cars. Addco = swaybars.com. I would get the end links figured out before drillng my frame for the bar mounts.
