Default crx hf rear sway bar question

Since my car is an HF model it has no brackets for the sway bar to mount to. I have purchased the proper hardware but have been contemplating welding these "L" brackets into place. There is nowhere to bolt these brackets to like there is the Si models. Will welding these be suffefcient(sp?)? the car will be used in the echc h1 class
oh, my current suspension is simple. Koni yellows w/ eibach sportline springs, full poly bushings, brand new balljoints bearings etc.. i run a ls/vtec. not sure if this helps but if you need it there it is.
thank you for your help.

there should be holes. they might be covered in tar or paint. but they are there.

Even my STD hatch had holes for them

are you trying to mount a factory Si bar or an aftermarket? the factory Si bar's holes are there and aftermarket bars usually use the factory tow hook's holes.

aftermarket, something near the 24mm size range. ok, yup, the holes are there but they are not threaded or anything. how do i reach up ion there to get a nut to thread into? i figured i'd just weld it and bolt it.

btw, i dont think youre going to find anything over 22mm, and i wouldnt want anytihng more than 22mm.

i just put a 22mm mugen rear bar on my Si, damn, thats nice. stock fit, no binds, easy installation.

Weld up your own mounting brackets?

yeah, dpsycho definately did a better option than 4dref, not that 4dref was bad, but welding up new brackets from stock is definately the better way.
