    Default T18 rear swaybar mounts?

    Ive got a t18, im geussing its series one as it has no rear swaybar.
    it has an s series diff in it(obviously not the original) and i want to use the car for drift so it would be good to have a rear swaybar and it doesnt seam to have any mount points for the links on the body. on the diff its got spots for mounts so not fussed about that.

    just wondering if anyone has made up weld on kits for swaybar mount points or any other info on puttin mounts in. on the body

    cheers.

    oh and i did do a search but couldnt find anything.

    i reckon most people just cut off the standard mounts and weld them on the new diff. To be complete honest though t series are so cheap that if your getting someone else to do the welding for you it would probably be cheaper to just find a series 2 and even if your doing the welding yourself it would still be less stuffing around lol

    I think he means the sway bar link brackets on the body. Check if it's got the holes there that the series 2 link brackets bolt onto. If not you may be able to just weld a reinforcing plate there, then drill and bolt through where the standard bracket holes are. Then just bolt on standard brackets. Gotta find series 2 brackets or may e even ke70 brackets if there the same. I haven't had mine side by side so I couldn't tell u.

    yeah i mean mounts on the body.
    and yeah i had a quick look at my 70 and it looks like it has almost like a box welded in the corner between the footpan and rear chassis rails, not sure if series 2 t18 would be the same but yeah looks like it might be a lil hard, how important is it to have it mounted in the exact same spot, or is there a little leeway.

    ok this topic has definately not been covered before, not many T18 owners on here.

    I might be able to sell you some ae86 brackets that you can weld on.

    if u could take photos of the brackets that would be good and of where they go on the car, or just of the brackets if they are stil on the car so i can see if its the same as the t18 flooorpan/chassis rail wise then i would be keen sam.

    well i got one fitted, i used ke70 brackets and drilled through my chassis rails, i then used ke70 front swaybar links as my rear links and used a VN rear swaybar, which is about 19mm thick(better than stock 14) it has an s series diff and you could probly use standard d bush covers but i diint have any for the s series so i used the vn ones and nuts and bolts on both sides with a plate behind the orginal diff swaybar mounts and used the original vn bushes aswell.

    I havnt driven the car yet but im hopeing for an improvment in rear end stability
