Shine rear swaybar dimension & metallurgical advice needed + (ATTN: Ron P.

[rfkellner at snet.net (Rick Kellner)]

Here is a link to the Shine Racing site showing the bar and a PDF
showing the installation instructions.  No diagrams, just a description.
Rick.
BTW, it does not describe any handling characteristics of the car after
the bar is added.

Yup.  IIRC when I installed the Shine bar on your 86 I used the rear
beam mounting points (ie. pivots) as a center for the bar - which I
would assume would be the proper location for it so the only stress on
the bar is torsional...

Thanks,
