When I try to add a photo to a post, it is rotated 90 degrees clockwise, what's the deal

That is the way it was photographed... your image software on the PC automatically "orients" it for proper display - but the data in the photo tells it what is the top.

Rotate the photo in your image software 90 deg's (so it looks wrong on your PC) and do a "save as" (different filename... add an _b or something), then try posting that photo to the board.

Nothing works, even tried two different iPhones. Some sort of software glitch, my computer, my phone, or something.

email the pic to me and I'll rotate, save and post it from Photobucket.

How were you posting photos before Jim? You have posted many photos in your other posts and they turn out fine. Were all those photos off your phone as well or are you trying something different this time?

I use to have iPhoto's with my mac. That changed to something called photo's with the updates. Ever since then a problem

If you want to email me the pixs i'll post them for you. Or, go ahead and post the pixs and I'll set my laptop on it's side.

Found them on the web, I think it's your car. Hard to tell with how dark pix's are. But, it looks like the bar is not centered.

Thanks Kevin. How did you rotate them? Because of the bends in the bar and where the bushing bracket sit in relation to those bends and where the bracket is mounted to the frame, it does not appear that I will be able to slide the bar to the passenger side. I think I would have to make a special bracket to hold the bushing to be able to slide the bar to the passenger side.

I don't think the frame has been tweeted. Maybe the bar or maybe it came from the factory that way. It is suppose to be a factory TA bar from the 70's. Wondering if this is common. I am thinking I will just try it that way. What do you or anyone else think?

It looks OK. The bar is wider than original and the links are going to lean like that. The bar will center itself with driving.

I wouldn't worry about it.

I must have read 12 or most post on TC about this and not in one did they mention it was wider. When I got the bar, I measured the distance between the centers of the end link holes and it was indeed about 1/2" wider.

Thanks everyone
