You can see them in one of the pictures posted above. They're easy to get to...you just need to strip out the tar sheet in the footwell, then use a zipdisc to cut through the floor! Two small rectangular weldnuts held onto the rail by little more than some wishful thinking. I'm planning on welding them on more solidly once I find a brush small enough to sneak in through my hole to clean it up a bit...though compression struts+TCAs would be sexy.

Grant- It helps if you put a jack under the anti roll bar and lift it into place than put the bolts in. It would be kind of hard to do with studs as they might get in the way. I've found it easier to assemble the control arms to the anti roll bar and then mount the bar to the frame, but you could mount the bar first and use a comealong to pull the bar and get it into the outer TCA bushing.

You can see them better here, one bolt in, one bolt lost:

This photo should make John (and my knees?) happy:
