Default DIY rear bar for a 4KQ??

was thinking about a rear bar for the 4KQ by using a front bar turned around - Given the rear suspension is the front turned around, is there any reason why a front bar from say a CGT wouldn't work on the rear of a 4KQ? I am thinking the bar would be behind and could use the same end links as the front - the only work would be to manufacture the bushing mounts and bolt/weld to the chassis. This would also give the CGT crowd something to do with their old bars after they upgrade to the larger 4KQ bar :-)

Default Its been done before..

I was at Gingerman Raceway a year or so ago, and a red 10vt 4kq with Urq fenders had a front bar in the rear. Welding is required for the brackets, but he didnt go into detail.

Default I did it

got some snow between it last winter and when it expanded it ripped a hole in my subframe where the weld was. It can be done though with the same peices from the front.

Default cool beans!

I'm gonna measure this up. You also made me think that some form of a splash shield may be worth considering too...
