    Does anyone know where I can get a set of original 1 inch sway bar bushing brackets? These are the "U" shaped brackets that hold the rubber sway bar bushings in place under the car front end. I think they make repros, but are the identical or like most things not quite right? Any information would be appreciated.

    There are many available in the aftermarket that will work but they are not really a repro since they are not made the same as the original part. Bob

    So it sounds like from what you're saying, in order to do a concours resto a guy needs to find an original set if he's missing them (no after market piece will be the same)....correct?

    Does anyone know who makes a good bushing that FITS the old brakets? I bought a pair of bushings that are cut on a taper on the top side but they don't fit the brakets very well.

    Thanks
