Haffa,

 I have a HR rear in my FE Sedan. It has the sway bar from the FC sedan I once had. I shall take some pics and post them here tomorrow.

We've been off line for a bit , but here goes with the pics.









As can be seen in the pics, the bar is held to the dif via "U" bolts and plates. It then lays along the spring , facing towards the rear of the car, and is held to the spring with a set of plates. Very simple and easy to fit.

Hope this helps.
Regards Rusty.

Hey Rusty,that looks great but does it actually work?When you are trying to reduce body roll don't you need to stiffen the bond between the body and the diff.I might not being getting my head around this properly but if the sway bar is only attached to the diff how does it reduce the body roll?I can see it may have a slight effect but would it be more effective if it was attached to the body or the spring hangers.Not having a dig at you by any means as I am no expert and your installation is very neat.Cheers,Jamie.

Jamie your on the money  I have fitted this type before and they only marginally improve body roll and the preferred method is to attach it to the body, will get a picture of the set up on the Ute and post it .....FC427.....

Jamie,

It does work . It also has a 23mm front sway bar. It drives extremely well and is similar to driving a slot car. I have had it around the track at eastern creek during the Shannons Classic. Mind you it has also been lowered a little as well.

Mark , the pics would be good.
