Cool missing part?

Here are some pics of the pieces including the missing "U" shaped piece Peter mentioned.

As to the rubber bushing part, I doubt there is a specific "Tempest" part available at the parts stores but I believe that with a little bit of sorting through some pieces they have for other cars you could find sustitutes, probably even in polyurethane.

I seem to recall the stabilizer bar is 11/16" in diameter. Notice the bracket has "grooves" in it with the U-shaped piece having similar patterns that fit into the bracket. These grooves probably serve a dual purpose of holding the stuff in line and "cinching down" the rubber.
