Where can you find the weld on sway bar tabs?

Hotchkis lists ones for the 66-69 B Body

https://www.hotchkis.net/product/1966-69...partnoval=23366

And the 70-74 E-Body and 70-72 B Body

https://www.hotchkis.net/product/70-74-e...partnoval=23367

Has anyone used either of these or where can you buy them, if possible.

Thanks

I know you can buy them, optionally, from Firm Feel when you buy the front sway bar kit, but I don't know if they sell them separate, an email might work.

They say there are no such thing as a stupid question.
They say there is always the exception that proves the rule.
Don't be the exception.

I want to say this place has them???

Might want to make sure these are the correct style????

The Firm Feel ones work, but they don't look stock. Just an FYI if that matters to the OP.

I don't think anyone makes a correct looking reproduction weld on bracket. Hotchkis makes a nice weld on bracket while several other places provide a bolt on tab or a simple L shaped bracket. I looked into all of this a few weeks back and then decided to just buy some A body arms with the correct tabs on them.

I agree but they are not easy to find. I have Jim (Rhinodart) looking in his stash. It's for a buddy and he only needs the Driver side. It's for a hot rod 71 Demon, so correctness is not a real necessity.

The Bergman and Hotchkis B body look to be the same. Even the pictures are the same.

Thanks

I e-mailed Peter about the application and he wrote me back and said they should work. I don't know if the shape is exactly the same as the picture is smallish.

Agree, those do not look like the factory tabs.

I'm sure your right. Those mount high.
Here's a pic from FABO showing the ones up through '72 with the curved attaching wings.
