We used most of the stock bracketry...turned the bar upside down and backwards, opened up the id of the axle saddle brackets to fit the larger dia. of the 12 bolt and welded them to the housing (needed 3/8" spacers between those and the bushing clamps to clear the brake line), welded some 1"x2" c-channel to the frame to space the link brackets off the frame and bolted it in.

I think it made a huge difference, we have a 1 1/4" bar on the front and could really feel the rear wallow around. The rear is a 7/8" bar and tightened the burb down substantially, feels like a slot car
