What if I had a piece shaped like this?
Compress clay/playdough balls under points A and B as the plate is held parallel to the sway bar.
The clay would give you the thickness and angles for the two wedge-shaped spacers.
Bolts at A and B would go through the K
I would probably file/grind the spacers from soft aluminum.
The L-bracket could still reinforce hole C.
Would the L-bracket be overkill if this mounts to the K-frame at two points?

Would the triangular piece be too ugly?

Doesn't even need to be that complicated.....

Keep the Lower mounting point (with the L Bracket), and extend the upper bolt thru the K-member. The spacers are just because of the slightly different angles of the brackets and K-member.

Like this (look at last picture at top of thread too)

My webspace died for some reason. Need to get it running. On my 64 I just welded the addco mounts solid and welded them to the K near the front where the strut rod washers sit.

sorry moved stuff around on my website and didn't realize the links were broken. They're fixed now.
