I use Nascar bars from Speedway Engineering on my TR6 racecar. They are
1.25 hollow bars with anodized aluminum arms. They are less than 8#
apiece and are connected to the suspension with .5" rod ends. They work
really well. I have pictures if anyone wants them.

When I raced my TR4 in the early eighties, I happened to be working as a
machinist. I built my bars from stressproof steel as Kas suggested. I
used
1.250" on the front and 1.00" on the rear. I also built a panhard rod
for
good measure. The links were put on with key stock much like the rear
axle
is. I also made the links adjustable so I could tweak the front to rear
bias.
I ran the car for several years without ever having to adjust anything.
They
are still on the car which I am restoring. Next to the Jack Wheeler
engine
rebuild, this was the best thing I ever did on the car. The car feels
like
your driving on rails. I wouldn't take them off now for anything.
