ZF SIDE MOUNT |
| The ZF was originally mounted with a rear mount on this car (early cars). Side mount upgrades are available through venders but here is one built from scratch. What I like about this side mount is it re-enforces the area around the sway bar and overall is very stout. Photos worth a 1000 word......... |
