Rear bolt question on 26R Chassis

[Certified Lotus]

Can anyone tell me what this rear bolt is for on my 26R chassis? The original chassis does not have these bolts.

Rear sway bay mounting point?

Viewing the rear anti-roll bar kit at Kelvedon's web site I would agree these are for attaching the pivot hangers. Do your rear control arms have welded-on studs for the vertical links to the anti-roll bar? Now, what are you planning to do with the pipe wrenches on your shop floor?

Thanks! I thought they had something to do with a rear roll bar but couldn't figure it out as there are no attachment point to the suspension. I have the stock rear control arms so no bolt on them (I now see the competition rear control arms have a bolt on the for the rose joints).

Russ, the pipe wrenches were used to get the threaded retaining caps off my old shock tubes to remove the old shocks. I even had to put a large pipe on the handle to get enough torque to break the seat. Those things were never coming off, even though I tried heating them up.

My friend Drew, who restores cars for a living, puts anti seize on just about everything when he reassembles. Now I know why.
