I am installing a new front sway and forgot to take some of the measurements from my old set before I shipped them off. I would like to transfer the measurements to the new set up. Can someone measure from center to center in the parts I indicated in yellow?

Bob,
I believe I have some in the basement. I'll check tonight, measure, and let you know.

Bob, doesn't seem to me this would be too hard to do...but your car is a '68, right? Does the SWB '68 use the same bar set-up as a '72? Anybody know? It would be a bit of work for me to kick Cindy's car out of the garage on a stormy day, move my car to the center, put it on jackstands, pull a wheel to do the measuring. But I'm willing to do it IF I know the info gained would be useful. My bars are oversize, but everything is factory mounts....(edit)That's funny...your post languished for a while...then John & I both post at the exact same time. I'll "let John do it".John, I hope the paint color is working out well...

Paul,
The car is still at the painters but he tells me I should have it back in a couple of weeks. Obviously not his highest priority but he's doing a super job. I visit it every few weeks and am pleased with his work. I haven't forgotten about my promise to send you some touchup paint.
Best, John

Thanks John, That's something I'm looking forward to. I'm also looking forward to pics of the finished job!

Thanks for the help guys. As far as I know the sway bars should be the same for SWB and LWB. I installed it yesterday based on TTWEEDS droplink measurements but I would still like to know the arm measurements. Thanks again for helping a brother out!

Bob,
Well I found some old stock ones out in the garage but I may muddy the waters. The arms measure 120mm center to center and the drop links measure approx 238mm. However I also found another pair of stock drop links that measure approx 225mm. I'm really not sure what year 911's they are from.
Sorry I can't be of more help.
Good luck, John

Bob,
Update. I found another set of arms and drop links that I know were used on my 71. The arms are aftermarket but the drop links are stock and measure approx 225mm.

The droplinks I measured for Bob were off my '67S and they were the 225mm size.
