I just installed SRP sways on my 85 and did not have to remove the gas tank. Clever use of a coat hanger got the back mount plate close enough to grab through the hole and pull the six mounting bolts through the holes.
I struggled for three hours with the SRP method of getting the bar to spin in the loose mounts then tightening the mounts down. Every time the bar became impossible to turn by hand. What finally worked for me was using a Radio Shack laser pointer. I tightened both sides down all the way then used the laser pointer through the hole to see how far the other side was off. I then used the bar in the hole method to "adjust" the plane of the mount. Repeated iterations of this on both sides of the car for 30 minutes and the bar spun easily with both mounts completely tightened down.
One concern I have is that the spacers provided by SRP allow the bar to slide back and forth enough to make a clunking noise. Some good size nylon washers may be necessary between the arm and the provided spacer to eliminate the clunk.
Other than that they are beautifully made, fit together perfectly, and are light years above the quality of the weltmeisters I had in there before.
