An update on my Aussie bar with Upgraded plates. Ok as said earlier, I bolted them instead of welding them. I drove over a bad set of RR tracks, clunkity clunk. Ripped the bracket right off.

So I drove to no less than 8 places to get them to weld the plate on the passenger side, and "Fix" / Weld the plate on the drivers side. It was a pain. 7 People didn't want to touch it.

Excuses: Liability, goto Ford, too near the Gas tank, won't hold, get a new Ford part, go away, where is you catylitic converter...

So finally, the guy did some "Afro-engineering". He said what is that worth to ya?
I said $20 but here is $10.
He smiled and asked me to come back for the custom exhaust. So I will go back to him for the exhaust work.

I didn't want to race around gingerman with no rear sway bar.

My advice, Don't drive on a non-welded Aussie bar!!!
