Does anyone out there make sway bar tabs for welding onto 73-76 A-Body lower control arms? I have access to a metal shop and could probably fab up a set but if someone already makes them it would save me some time.

hotchkis and firm feel I think both make them.
another company makes one that mounts to the shock bolt instead of having to weld as well, but I can't remember who that is.
Hmm.. very curious about this

I see them sold as part of their front sway bar set but don't see them sold on their own. Can anyone direct me to a set sold on their own without the kit?

Hellwig bar for my 68 Charger came with the tabs that bolt to the lower shock bolt

I called the Hotchkis sales department and was told that they are not usually sold separately. The guy took my email info and said he would talk to his manager about putting them in the computer so he could sell me a pair separately from the sway bar kit. Hopefully he will get back to me.

I'm pretty sure i ordered mine separate from my sway bar kit. Only problem was they only sold them in pairs. So i ended up buying a whole other set when i welded one upside down.
I don't think building a car is expensive, building it twice due to my own stupidity is expensive

I haven't a clue why your having such a heartburn in getting sway bar mount tabs direct from Hotchkis.
You asked me that question over on ebay, through the "ask the seller a question" in regards to the rebilt lower control arms that i rebuild, then resell.
I told you that i get tabs from Hotchkis direct.
Summit sells them, along with numerous other automotive warehouses, that sell Hotchkis products.
What you want is #233367
They are $45.00 a pair, from Hotchkis themselves.
I have bought lots of them for my LCA rebuilding.

I believe that all the ones for sale are for b-bodys, Not A-bodys.
I would like to know the measurements for the a-bodys. Can any one help?
The op is asking about 73-76 A body sway bar mount tabs.
Hotchkis repops those.
In your picture, you have 65-72 LCA's with those sway bar mount tabs on them.
In that regard you are correct, Hotchkis DOES NOT reproduce them.
They repop brackets for the 66-69 B Body line of cars.
And they repop brackets for the 73-76 A bodys, and 70-72 B bodys, 70-74 E bodys, which all are the same bracket.
That should put clarification to this topic.

well I didn't get a response to the measurements so I just made them up. What do you think.
They look great, BUT get the sway bar bolted onto the k-member and attach the tabs to the bar with the end links. Put the weight of the car on the tires to locate the tabs properly.
