HELP!!! I dropped the heavy duty front sway bar on my '60 Spider to clean it and surrounding parts and install new bushings. Mistake! I should have left it in place & just installed lower bushings. I first tried re-installing it by attaching the ends & then trying to pry the bar into place to get the 4 bolts through brackets into the chassis. Really not enough room to easily get at front bolts & couldn't get brackets far enough back onto the bar to catch threads in front cross-member. I have now tried to follow Service Manual steps of, "Mount brackets to "body" and then attach ends." As you can see from the attached photo, the bar rests on the bolt that holds the spring/shock pan to the front lower wishbone. Bracket bolts are as loose as I can leave them. But there isn't enough play to allow the bar to rotate to below the wishbones so I can loop the round end of the end-bracket over the link-pins as shown by red line. Any ideas on how to re-assemble this without a total dismantling of the front suspension will be greatly appreciated. Thank you. Norm
