It's too cold out right now to make any serious progress, so I picked up a few more bolts while I was in town and got the sway bar mounted up. I only remembered to buy enough for the frame mounts, so now I have to go back in and buy another set in order to bolt the other set of mounts to the control arms.
Started by grinding off and punching out the cold rivets holding the old sway bar brackets on to the frame.
Old brackets removed. The main reason they were changed was because the drivers side was obviously damaged sometime in the past.
Frame area around where the brackets were removed was painted, and new brackets installed. The actual mount bolts need to be installed before the bracket goes on to the frame, it's impossible to put them in afterwards.
You can clearly see how close the bolts sit here
Sway bar mounts greased, installed on the bar, and mounted up to the brackets
All in! I love the contrast that the silver on the sway bar and springs gives to the rest of the black parts underneath there. The red highlights them nicely!
