I haven't gotten far enough along in my restoration to really look closely at all the front suspension stuff yet, but how hard would it be to fabricate something? the T-bar mount is just a hex, right? all the adjust-ability is up front isn't it?
so all you need is the right sized hex from say, a socket or something, and some plate steel to weld it to, allowing you to weld it into the car?
or, if it's too much work and hassle, then use this as an opportunity to go with a coil spring type suspension using something like Alter-Ktion's front end kit.

If you are trying to emulate a torsion bar receiver with a socket of some sort, like a 1.25 (?) 6 point, its best to get it professionally welded as it is under extreme torsional loads and is likely to spin in the crossmember if not welded solid. Add to the fact that it needs to be a deep well socket and cant be blind (as a socket, cut the back out) as you need to be able to slide the bar through it to get it to the LCA's. That cap sounds like a better option.
