You do outstanding word , very detailed--------however----------you don't want to make an anti roll bar out of a piece of tubing---------you might want do a little research into the twist properties of the material------

Steve,
I agree with Jerry, anti-sway/roll bars are solid stock with material qualities ranging to the high tensile area. That tubing has very little resistance to twisting force, IMO. Looks good, but I don't think it will function as you want.

Roger its quite common place to make anti roll bars in chrome moly tube, I've made them in it for years, it works very well.

Yeah, Steve, I'm a bit red faced by my comment , especially after Jack posting his info from Hotchkiss. Should have known you'd already done your homework on the material, but it looked "light", and then Jerry's comment.... Sorry for the bother

Why not Jerry, its chrome moly tube
