This shows what you'll need:

- 1x swaybar
- 2x galvanised bolts 120xM8 (I used galvanised because they were the only ones in that size)
- 4x galvanised nuts to suit (other nuts wont fit, whitworth thread)
- 2x diff brackets and bushes
- 4x high tensile bolts 60xM8 (once again, only size bolts were this type, good to use high tensile though)
- 4x spring washers to suit
- 6x rubber body mount bushes
- 4x spacer tubes for the diff mounts, box steel 25x36mm

First crack the wheel nuts so they'll be easy to undo when the car's jacked up.

Jack the car under the diff where the writing is, make sure the jack seat is secure! I placed axle stands under the trailing arms, which is probably dodgy, but the diff has brake lines running under it so it was the next best thing and didn't bend anything.

Start undoing the diff brackets and put the bolts aside - WD40 or similar is good for loosening those siezed bolts!

Place the brackets with the spacing bits of box steel one under the original and use the 60xM8 bolts and spring washers to secure it - this will be difficult as you'll have to hold the swaybar up while doing it. A good coat of WD40 will make things easier.

Once both sides are done, start undoing the body mount bolts - take care to remember how they go!

This shows the setup, same as before but with 3 extra bushes per side, sandwiching the bars together.

This shows what it should look like when done, using the galvanised 120xM8 bolts.

Use the nuts, 2 on each side and lock them together with the bushes firm but not overly squashed.

This is how the finished product should look, forgive my dirty undercarriage!

NOTE: I had my bottom swaybar brackets welded to the spacer box steel tubes just to make sure everything can't work loose - something to consider!

Consider putting a piece of flat bar on top of the box section to stop the new swaybar bush moving around.
