    U-brackets for front A-arm to sway bar drop link connection

    Replacing stock A-arms on a 72 911T with factory sway bar. My replacement A-arms lack the U-bracket mounting location for the drop link. Where can I find a good bolt-on U-bracket? I prefer bolt-on to weld-on because the arms are already newly powder coated. Something like what is pictured here would be perfect.

    Weltmeister sold those years ago, thru Automotion among others. I don't know where you would find them now. Elephant racing maybe? The system in your picture is the "Smart Racing " brand, also gone to the best of my knowledge. Smart Racing was involved with "Jerry Woods Racing" might give them a try.

    Thank you Ed! Jerry Woods Enterprises still carries these. Unfortunately they are 19mm wide and don’t fit the stock drop link at 22mm wide. So I’ll need a modified drop link, or a different bolt on bracket. Any other suggestions?

    SWB 911's also used a bolt on U-tab, not sure if they would fit a later control arm, might be worth a shot.

    901.343.735.00/.02 -- Not sure it will fit the later geometry though.
