Can anyone show me some pics of the LH/LX front sway bar mounting points. My x-member doesn't have bolt holes for the u ring bushes, only the pin mount holes in the lower control arm.

You should just be able to bolt the ends of the swaybar on and see where it lines up
But I got a photo of a spare crossmember I have anyway, hope that helps. The holes are 15mm in diameter, which gives you lots of slack if you're using the correct U-bolts

^^That's how I would do it if the holes aren't there.
You would need the car at correct ride height and the "pins" happy.
By happy I mean with the least distortion in the bushes, and evenly tilting front/rear and left/right if that makes sense?
If you drill smaller holes than 15mm, it will give you more room to move on the "X" member for best result.

The young fella beat me to it, but here you go, you can never have enough pics. Didn't realise that plate wasn't on the second bolt, but that will be fixed shortly, as this front end is being pulled apart for painting.

Hope that is of some use to you.
