Default Torsion Bar Delete and Torsion Tube Replacement

I am curious if anybody knows who makes the torsion tube replacement shown in the picture below. This was posted by Patrick a long time ago on another forum. There was a better pic of the entire piece, but having a hard time finding it.

Eric that was made by Bruce (95ONE). There is a thread in here detailing certain 'characteristics' of that particular item. Possibly fine to run on a street car.

I've got a complete one for sale if you want, including trailing blades and all hardware. After the issues discovered in the thread linked by Patrick above I wasn't comfortable running it. I'd sell it cheap, buyer beware that it needs reinforcement. Here's a picture, front suspension stuff not included of course.

JustinL is offering his for US$400 but hasn't had any takers (original price was over $800). I've waited a while to be polite, but I figure it's OK to undercut him now. US$300 plus shipping, keep in mind I'm in Canada.

I am not tracking my car, I just like the clean look of this setup. Just going down the road should not be too bad. I have discussed this a bit with Patrick.

If you put some tabs on that to mate with the chassis brace I'd think it would give a large increase in strength.

Only took about an hour to read that giant thread. Not sure anything would be needed for a street car. However, I will probably add the tabs.

Sent you a PM this morning, here's a copy:

--------

Hello,

I'll get some cardboard this week to pack it up securely then take it to the post office on the weekend to get a shipping estimate. Can you let me know your address? Once I have the total with shipping I'll give you my PayPal info. Thanks.
