Welding rear sway bar reinforcement tabs

[BMWManiac]

Where do these triangular tabs get welded on? I have an idea, but I would like to see PICTURES so I'm 100% sure.

Is it where the "U" shaped metal end link brackets bolt to the rear control arms?

Those tabs get welded on over the existing sway link pickup points on the trailing arms.

Do you have any pics? I'm bringing these pieces and the car to a welder and it would be great for him and I to know exactly where, what orientation, etc....for welding these brackets.

Orientation is pretty obvious. The tabs have the same shape as the sway link pickup points. So you cut the turned up lip off the pickup points, line up the holes in the tabs and pickup points, and weld.

x2. When you are in there, it's very obvious. Don't have pics close up, but have pics of me welding them from the other side of the shop, lol.

So, my next question is why do I have 4 x tabs when there are only 2 x mounting points?
