Nope there was no cutting or welding involved. This strut bar is rare. I paid $200 for it.

I don't have an 86, I have an 83 station wagon so I really don't have any thing to go off of for measurements, but by looking at the trunk space I would try measuring out a piece of tubing the full length from end to end of that sway bar, use a vice to smash the last 3 inches or so on each end and drill out holes to match. Might work, might not, but that would be my idea.
