Jim,

Well, your bar fits just beautifully.  I will look into having Goodparts make
a custom bar for me with 11" arm lengths.

Your photo makes it look as if the measurement is taken from the center of the
bent to the tip of the arm, is that correct?

  Tony,

  The length of the arms is 11"  I added this dimension to the second photo I
posted earlier.  I did not follow the bend in the arm, just from one point to
the other.

    Jim, thanks for the pix! Nice looking undercarriage! The sway bar looks
    great installed. If the VB bar is 3/4", that probably is adequate for me.
I
    picked 7/8" only because I had once had a car fitted with that size and I
    really liked it. Alternatively, I can get Goodparts to make a custom 7/8"
    with arms of the correct length for the 4A, then use the bending technique
to
    feed them thru the loops.

    Can you measure the length of the arms on the sway bar?
