What rear sway bar do i need here?

The mounts look to be held to the torsion tube and trailing arms by muffler clamps, and the drop links are still there. Is this home made or aftermarket? Either way I need to source a swaybar and mounts for this. Here are some pics.

Thanks
Kevin

Definitely not OEM. You can source all the parts you need for a factory-type installation still, but it will require welding the consoles to the unibody. The aftermarket Wevo consoles are highly recommended, but OEM bits are still available. If your trailing arms do not have the droplink attachment points, you will have to add them as well, if you are going to use an OEM swaybar.

This pic looks like a really old version of the Weltmeister sway bar adapter bracket. Is used on cars that came without a factory rear sway bar. It clamps around the torsion tube to simulate the pivot bracket that's welded to the chassis on factory equipped cars.

Can't speak to the drop link pics. never seen that before. But with the above bracket, you can mount just about any rear sway bar.

Here's the current Weltmeister piece as available from our host:
