  1. It looks like the position and travel of the internal piston of the strut would be needed. If the material of the strut body is thick enough a groove could be ground in the side, if not, forming a little trough for the bolt wouldn't be terribly difficult as long as the piston doesn't travel over the area. What would seem to be critical to me is the outside diameter for clamping in the socket of the rear knuckle. The height of where it clamps into the knuckle appears to have some flexibility in it also. This strut works as a guide and movement dampener, and doesn't actually have weight bearing forces on it. The alignment tab is really only for locating the position of the ear the anti sway bar bolts to, the strut itself has no rotational requirement, so the sway bar mount could have the alignment tab. The attachment for the sway bar fastening could be a clamp on or modified to attach to the knuckle itself.

  3. If a strut could be found that met all specifications other than the sway bar bracket, I think it might be pretty easy to attach the sway bar to the lower control arm with a Heim Joint instead fabricating a bracket to add to the body of the strut, much in the same fashion my buddy did on the front of his Shelby Cobra replica recently. Attaching the bar to the lower control arm would effectively do the same thing as attaching the sway bar to the strut. I've attached a photo he sent me to give an idea how that might be done on the Reatta.
