    When we put a dual line master cylinder on a 1st gen, we need to add a 2"  block to lower it out of the way,,,,however,,,,,,there should be  2 holes on each side of the frame for the mounts,,,,,some are already threaded for bolts,,,,,,,if there is just a hole, you hook a U bolt through them and it hangs down,,,,,,,,

    Those MRC 18070 link sets that M1D told you about are about 1 inch shorter than the stock ones,,,,,,,but they might be the closest thing you can find,,,,,,,the sway bar should be level to work best,,,,,,,,1 inch might not really matter,,,,,,,,we need a shorter link when we add that spacer for the dual line master cylinder,,,,,,,but anything is better than nothing,,,,,,,,,

    You just take the nuts off the inner U bolt and slap the mount up there,,,,,,,see if the U bolt is long enough so the nuts can go back on,,,,,,,,a REAL sway bar u bolt is longer,,,,,,,
