Jack rear of car up, and place securely on axle stands, positioned to allow maximum access to rear subframe/rear radius arms area. Remove rear exhaust hanger to exhaust clamp or un-hook rubber loop on late type cars. Using suitable saw, cut off centralising tab from bottom center of subframe rear cross member. Remove rear wheels and brake drums. Remove upper most and rear most brake back plate to radius arm nuts and bolts.

Jack rear of car up, and place securely on axle stands, positioned to allow maximum access to rear subframe/rear radius arms area. Remove rear exhaust hanger to exhaust clamp or un-hook rubber loop on late type cars. Using suitable saw, cut off centralising tab from bottom center of subframe rear cross member. Remove rear wheels and brake drums. Remove upper most and rear most brake back plate to radius arm nuts and bolts.
Fit mounting plates to correct sides (RH = right hand, LH = left hand) using these holes with threaded boss upper most and rear most. Place a 5/16” plain washer between plate and radius arm in foremost bolt-hole position. Fit in place using 5/16”UNF x 1 1/4” bolts and original spring washers and nuts in original positions. Screw half nuts on to male rods ends, then screw male rod ends into female ones almost their full distance. Fit a 5/16”UNF x 1” bolt through male rod end eye and screw into mounting plate boss, one each side, and tighten. Assemble mounting blocks to bar just inside the blade lever arms, ensuring the halves are identically numbered. Do not mix them up as they are lined bored for concentricity. The thinner half fits against the subframe. With bar positioned in front of rear cross member, carefully line mounting blocks up with outer edges of subframe, behind cone spring seat support. Take care to position blocks so that bar is able to swing freely and when holes are drilled, sufficient space is available to fit nuts on to ends of mounting block bolts. Clamp blocks in position to check these points.
Once satisfied, either use blocks as guides to drill holes in subframe, or at least to mark position for holes to be drilled. These should be 1/4”/6.5mm. Once drilled, connect each end of the blade lever arms to the drop links by passing 5/16” x 1” bolts through female rod ends on either side, then through the hole drilled in the forward end of the blade. Secure with 5/16”UNF Nyloc nuts on the outside of the blade. Now re-assemble mounting blocks to the bar, and secure to subframe using 1/4”UNF bolts passing through blocks and subframe with a 1/4” plain washer and 1/4”UNF Nyloc nut on end of each. Variations in subframe assembly may require a flat to be filed onto the edge of the plain washers. Take care to maintain natural central position of bar. Use a suitably sized hose clamp on the inner side of each mounting to keep bar in place. Finally, re-fit drums and wheels, jack car up, remove stands and lower onto ground. Remove the rod end to blade bolt on one side. Adjust length of link until the bar exerts no pressure (bolt passes easily through rod end and blade) with the car at level height. Note: As the bar is operating in hostile conditions, it is advisable to apply copper anti-seize grease to all threads, bush liners, and the bar where it runs in the mounting blocks.
