ST rear sway bar and R200 swap for a '73

[CruxGNZ]

I'm just throwing this out here, because I can't look at my car right now (it's in storage). My question is, I have a Suspension Techniques sway bar attatched to the uprights that they give you and recently looking at a R200 swap into a 240Z, I noticed that the mustache bar sits behind the uprights, now when I change over to the R200, will the mustache bar hit the mounting points for the ST sway bar? The mustache bar that I have does have a slight curve in it, so I am assuming that it will be behind the uprights. If there is interference, could I just switch to a different moustache bar?

I had no problems with the R200 conversion and the ST sway bar uprights. My '73 parts car has the uprights, but the rear bar is an ST that attaches to the factoyr mounts. The '73 was thus equipped with the mounts, but not the bar so if you want you can run a factory rear bar from a newer car or buy one for a 78 or so. My 72 does not have the factory sway bar mounts.

Cool, thanks Mike ! I just found a picture of a 240Z that has the R200 swap and ST rear sway bar, it's a tight fit, but it will work. The mustache bar does not interfere with the sway bar bushing mounting points.
