Is they're a fix for this?
Several of the vendors sell after market versions of the side mounts used on the later ZF. Your early ZF has the threaded bosses on each side for the OEM aluminum side mounts, but does not have the corresponding chassis mounting points.
The vendor units get around this by tying the new side mounts into a bracket that bolts to the four studs that hold the two chassis-mounted sway bar brackets. New bracket is under the brackets, tight against the rear cross member.
A pretty simple bolt on, around $200 IIRC.
You could fabricate your own if your welding/fabricating skills are adequate.
