So I scored a 19mm front bar, wondering now about rear bars. This is for a fast road, touring event, ‘74 with a 3.2 build.

I like cars that are tidy in their handling but would prefer not to leave the road backwards...

Also looking to confirm that I can always address the real sway bar later because it’s bolt on that does not require any welding work?

Take me to school here please!

If these are correct it appears that the top reinforcement plates are simply welded in place to stiffen that metal? Attached Image
