Does anyone have a suggestion, outside of the usual (Pelican, Performance Products) sources?

Thanks,

Looks good, but I am curious. How does it install? Does one side come off? And does it give at all or is ir rigid in a corner?

It's thin wall 1" (25.4mm?) tube with a 2" long bar stock plug in each end to make a solid core for the through bolt. It's 4130 so yes it will flex torsionally. The bar is installed through the body then arms slide on over the ends of the bar. They are pinned with a hardened through bolt The same as other 914 bars. They are not hard to make or weld. I've done lots of reading on airframe web sites about welding 4130. Most all the techs promoted gas welding over tig as the metal cools too fast with tig and becomes to weak point. So anyone with patiences and fore thought can make a bar. My test bar is a little heavy. But it's the first one.

So, you wanted cheap. This is cheap. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)

Ok, makes sense. When you run it post an update on its performance.
