Wheelie Bar Kit Choices/recommendations

Thanks for the responses and referral to Ken Keir Race Cars.

Also.....CMcAllister, Special Thanks for the very detailed reply...some stuff I hadn't even considered....like being able to "fit" the Car with Bars into the Trailer...

FYI, The Bars may not be a necessity at this point??..I'm trying to head off possible future troubles, just in case. As I've moved the Engine rearward ~ 5" in the chassis, I'm thinking they may be a good idea.

Also, I'm thinking 4130 tubes (maybe 1" OD x 0.095" wall - or whatever is recommended) with Rod Ends at all 4 points. Maybe 60" long - equipped with Springs.

I also do a lot of 4130 TIG Welding, so "assembly/fabricating" shouldn't be an issue for me. As far as a Budget...I'm hoping $ 500 or less for the Kit, or components.

Attached is a Photo of the Rear of the Car to give you a better idea of what I have for a set up.

Thanks again.
Harold
