WTB - Swaybar attachment brackets and an '87 3.8L EEC

I replaced the swaybar endlinks on my '85 this weekend.

I noticed for the umpteenth time that my swaybar brackets are twisted up like a pretzel. So, I need another set.

Also, I need an EEC out of an '87 3.8L. Part number must be E73F-xxx

The swaybar attachment brackets aren't carried in part stores.

It is an obsolete part.

What can they be off of? I'll make a run to a freind's parts can and see is I can snag a set from an 88 T/c if they will work.

I realize I can find a replacement at a junkyard...but I am lacking in time to go get one for the present. Also, after the 25th of Jan, I won't be able to wrench for 6+ weeks.

I honestly don't know. I think that all of our cars use the same bracket. Anybody have a clue?

Mustang brackets are too short...you have to use T-Bird/Cougar brackets, probably Mark VII also. Believe it or not, I don't even have a spare pair...

I might... just MIGHT, have the set I took off the parts TC. Not sure if I kept 'em or tossed 'em when I installed the TC sway bar into my '88 (I re-used the 88's brackets). Lemme look tomorrow...

I can't find my old brackets, so I think I tossed 'em when I tossed the old struts, spindles, rotors, rack, etc...

Sorry J
