Brad Merrick has them made to order. Have a look on his website xu-1.com.au under engine bay parts.
Cheers,

Hi Ian and Richard,
XU-1 Front Sway-bars are worth a Fortune if you can get your hands on one.
My belief is that any 22mm diameter material correct Sway Bar for the LC / Lj Torana will be sufficient. Dave I

Signature Swaybars in Sydney are the ones that replicate the XU1 front swaybar,they also do the clamps as well which are fairly close to orignal.I brought one about 4 years ago and cost $385 with clamps,the bar it self was thicker but looked pretty close to an original.
They may have change in price now tho.
cheers

A nice snug fit, the XU1 sway bar has,
the scalloped part makes sure it is connected properly.

adam hi they are easy to make
all u need is a blacksmith, i had 1 made years ago just to see the difference, i had the bar already measured up
found a blacksmith i took it to him with an original bar to copy
15 minutes later hey presto and 75.00 it was almost spot on apart from the hammer marks on the bends which i linnished out myself
make sure u get the right material bar
my 2 bobs worth

Iron works at Clifton Hill gave an approximate of $700, (maybe more) to make a hardened and tempered LJ Torana sway bar, not including the clamps.
He was the cheapest!
Good luck!
