Shine rear swaybar dimension & metallurgical advice needed+(ATTN: Ron P.

[rocco16 at sbcglobal.net (LEF)]

 C-section (channel) is nothing more than a 'broken' flat plate. 
 Flat plate has little torsional strength. 
 Channel has little torsional strength, especially considering its weight. 
 Pound for pound, round stock is about 3 times stiffer in torsion than channel (generally speaking, of course).   Tubing is even better.

  I realize a flat section (even 'c') may not be as tortionally rigid as the shine bar, something must be considered - that bar is 1"
  diameter, where the 'c' channel was 2.5" wide.
