Front underbody adjustable sway bar '77 on.

Does anyone make such a thing for the '77 on 911's?

If not, which seems to be the case, could someone start making one please?

Someone has posted that RUF make one, but I cannot find it.

Thank you.

nobody makes such a beast. There is limited space to package adjustable linkages in an underbody configuration.

And the thru-body design works very well. Why don't you want a thru-body type?

Mainly because of the removal of the struts, the potential removal of the fuel tank, the drilling, the scraping back of the inner guard stuff, the fabrication of the sheet metal re-inforcing plates, the welding of the re-inforcing plates, welding of the u-tabs to the control arms, the re-installation of the tank and struts and a re-alignment.

If I could just bolt a new bar on to the underside things would be a lot easier.

If you make one Chuck, I'll buy it.

Well, you don't need to remove the struts or the tank. Welded reinforcing plates are wise for racecars, but not needed for street (you do need bolt on backing plates).

It is necessary to weld the U tabs to the control arms, but this can be done in-situ.

It's really not that difficult of an install.
