Technical how do you do the sway bar on a 40 ford

I have mashed the perch pins swapping in a wishbone.
I can't run the forward off the bone shackle mount pin shock tube mount as they would touch the wheel - axle narrowed
with an anti roll bar or sap bar in a solid axle
do you need a dog-bone or a drop link fo articulation?
do you stick with a stock sized real small gauge bar

what I am thinking is....
could you not, use a real long bolt through the bone and axle
'not; having the locking part sitting in the groove of the upper wishbone
BUT
having the swap bar lock into the lower part of the bone and axle in a set position
and the top of the perch pin doing the spinny spinny
something about 5/8ths at 15.88mm
and reaming to m16
m16 din 912 socket cap at 'x'
lower nut is 3 things
the locking nut
the taper for bone
locks into axle for straight ahead
has the tapered hole for the swap bar drop link
then you have th eoppertunity to plane the mounting plane where you want
use a stock short drop link that is eyed or pin
ahh thats the easy bit
finding an oem bar from something is the challenge

pray tell....
a swap bar needs to swing from below level and past level
it doesnt matter if the links are from above or below?

so0 do all that AND try and squeeze in a low shock mount..
hmm

 

Leave it off.

 

I also hope (assumed) he is talking about an 'anti roll bar' not a panhard bar. I've noticed that sometimes in the U.S. sway bar and panhard bar can mean the same thing.

 

This is what you need.

In my opinion a sway bar is the best upgrade you can make to an early Ford with a straight axle.

 

Dan was quicker; but I was going to say the same thing. I've put a couple CE anti-roll bars on and those "peanut" brackets make a pretty easy connection to the axle.

 

Yes. That's what I mean the anti roll sway bar is in the way of the shock absorber, I cannot run the shackle pin shock mount anyway as the wheel hits before the steering locks, so I am thinking a sway bar and shock mount from the bottom of the perch pin, maybe having to have a lower pin mount shock rather than a bushed eye, bring the roll bar outwards, drop link to it

 

Shock absorber between the spring leaf and axle, roll bar on the outside of the spring perch

 

But you have to lock it into the axle somehow as it will spin, plus you still need to get a nut on the end,

 

Or in English, the above picture, the swap bar drop link is on the other side of the spring perch part of the bone, the shock mounts where the drop link peanut is

 

Phew. Got there in the end, plus it's all away from the shackle.....

 

Another way; Weedeter bar hooked up with male/female heim link to homemade eyebolt bolted thru axle. Obviously a late model axle; but location would work the same on a '40 and you could bring the bar closer and parallel to the frame.
