John Duncan just contacted me about a Hotchkis rear bar for his car. Frankly, none of my suppliers carry them. However, Addco does make a 1" hollow rear. I didn't commission it so it's not *MY* bar, but they have it.
Same prices would apply as with my full set.
Rear bar alone, $189.
Set of bars (35mm front, 25mm rear) would be $379.
Please note that I'm only mentioning this for those of you who have to have a 1" rear bar, such as those who have really low roll centers or big drag racers. I have in no way changed my feeling about preferring a 22mm bar. I'm simply saying that I can supply a part I know some of you look for. And frankly, my business is to sell folks product, so I mentioned it.

Thanks again Sam!
Yep, I was on the hunt for a light (well, as light as a 1" bar can be...) rear sway bar to complement the lowered panhard bar setup. Plus the car is a dual purpose car that sees drag race duty sometimes too, and is planned to be running low 10's or better.
This bar was $70 less than the best price I could find on the Hotchkis...
And it's hollow. Those are the only two I could find that were hollow.

Got the check John.... all is on the way!
BTW, the wall thickness of the 1" hollow rear is 4mm (actually 3.96mm).

is the front one also hollow ?
I need to reduce some of the weight from the car... I have the 35mm solid.
Since I'm going w/ the UE TA and relocation, I'd want a bigger rear one as well... so the combo interests me.
Let me know.
Thanks,

It's my front bar with a hollow 1" rear that Addco also makes. Not "mine" because I didn't spec it out like I did with my 22mm bar, but I have it, and it's made by the same company too.

So yes, the front bar is hollow.
That's why I can sell the kit for the same $379.
