The 1968 Shelby used the 15/16 bar with the heavy duty brackets. I believe these were also on 1969 Mach 1s

Nice.
I've always used an open end wrench (or maybe a crows foot if I had to take it with me in my pocket)

A friend wanted know if the sway bar for his 67 basket case Shelby was correct.
We pulled out my sway bar to compare and I see I did not apply the paint codes.
I did have a measured drawing of where the paint went but I failed to indicate which end was driver's side.
I may had the bar inverted which would flip the colors.

Just need to verify that as viewed from the front on an assembled car that the green is on the passenger side, like Jeff's May 16, 2018 post.

Look at Jeff's reply #8 it has the paint marks in the correct orientation. Other aspects in the picture are not correct.

Thanks for the verification, Bob.

I have so many pictures of my car as I tore it apart but all I have is the closeup, I showed above.

For some reason I have few pictures of the bar straight on.

Onward!
