Marina sway bar mounts? Were they from a Selby's kit, or did you make your own? Or was there a factory option? :o

Hmm that's different, UK Marina sway bars mount on the top of the axle and act as an anti tramp bar as well as an anti roll bar.

No Bryan Selby did not make them,they are a genuine factory part,from a Ford Falcon :D
I was just playing with the UK sway bar,I am going to fabricate adjustable torque rods.Due to the car being lowered at the rear 3 1\2" I will have to restructure the seat well so they will be level to mounting point on diff.I am not worried if it feels lumpy,I won't be sitting in the back.

Double shock absorbers? Going off-roading?

Seriously - looks really good and well thought out. It's difficult to tell from the picture, what's the angle bracket for coming off the front spring mount?

Do you mean the bracket for the front of the swaybar.This is a 6 cyl rear swaybar from Proven Products & it mounts to the torque rod locators.
The rear shocks locate differently too.

The torque rod location chassis hole is in pretty much the same place as the UK sway bar mount.
