Use the later style bar and adj. drop links
When dad passed his 74 to me, it had no rear bar and one mount was torn off. The other mount had been sawn off.
I installed a pair of Wevo mounts and some original links and a used "Carrera" rear bar.
Subsequently, I became concerned with being able to adjust out preload on the rear bar and hoped to drill a few more holes to enable making the bar adjustable.
Both elephant and Rennsport make adjustable drop links that attach to one of the existing spring plate adjustment bolts, (forgot if it is the height or camber adj bolts).
I have yet to do the later bar install, (with adj links), but I have heard it is straightforward and by drilling a few holes in the later bar, you can gain the ability to adjust the rear roll stiffness. A good thing, particularly if you are going to change torsion bars.
I think the adjustable drop links are a cleaner and more adjustable method of dialing out bar preload, than shimming down one side of the chassis bar mount, as must be done up front, unless you go for an adjustable front bar $$$$$$.
First, I have to get the lift installed so I can get the car up in the air -- I'm done with getting down on my knees.
