I used all the ADDCO items, links too; comes as a total kit. Everything was great.
Orig. links will not work with the poly bushings; would have to be cut in half.

EL FIN:
ADDCO 1.125” bar & links installed. Replaces stock 3/4” bar & links. Cross section area of new bar is 2.25 times area of stock bar.
Second photo is with wheels totally down; bar basically parallel with surface the way it should be.
Fun to drive now !!!!!!0 -

Looking good. The HUDSON sticker is a nice touch. Makes it more personal.
I had a long telephone conversation last night with Dan Maupin. He is very impressed with how much better his Hudson handles now with the new 1 1/8" anti-sway bar. I hope to receive mine soon.

Both link sets just arrived. Took a second look around porch. No bar. Maybe it will arrive tomorrow.

I'm glad to hear all the reports about how everyone is excited to have this new great handling car experience. I don't mind being the last one to get a bar because I already know from past experience what everyone is experiencing. I new you all would like it. I am looking forward to having my Hornet go into the corners with a smile on my face too when mine arrives soon. Enjoy your new cars and don't get carried away trying to see how much faster you can make that sharp curve. Stuff happens. And I have experience that also. If you know what I mean.

I want to thank you again for taking on this project so 15 of us can have a better time driving our Hudsons. I have been wanting a larger bar for my car from the moment I bought my first Hornet about 6 years ago.
Also, I am glad Dale will continue with this project. This project has turned 15 cars into much safer automobiles. With Dales efforts many more Hudson's will be better handling cars.
I have said it before with confidence and I will say it again. "A larger front anti-sway bar is the best and least expensive improvement one can make to their Hudson".

And thank Daniel for sending an original bar to ADDCO for a perfect matching !!!0

I knew someone had sent the original bar but I didn't remember it was Daniel. Without his effort the bar would not have turned out as good. We are also fortunate that ADDCO was willing to make these beautiful quality bars for a small order. It was a combined effort of a small group willing to try funding something new that worked out well and can benefit all those that want a much better handling Hudson. Thanks you all.
Give Dale a call. You will not regret buying a larger bar.

AND Kerry for giving ADDCO all the link measurements {that I had totally forgot about} and calling John, ADDCO, often to resolve several situations !!
NOTE: Buy 3/8" grade 8 bolts and new metal locking nuts; use orig Hudson cupped washers, the ADDCO sleeve/spacer & bushings. The spacer & bushings are all you should be using from ADDCO. I just don't like the 5/16" bolts. Orig. were 3/8".
