Wheelie Bars

I have a set of 68" chrome moly ART PRO wheelie bars and I dont have the two top bars. I have to buy the tubing, clevises etc for them. What length tubing should I purchase 68"????

I know this should be in the chassis section but just wanted a quick answer from the experts!

Call A.R.T. at 800-571-3023. They'll have the measurements, the tubing, and any other parts you'll need. Ask for Corky. There's damn little he doesn't know about a racecar.

Thanks. I called up there and talked to somebody and they acted like they did not want to talk to me. I felt like this guy just wanted me to buy a new set. Heck, I will buy the parts from them if they tell me exactly what I need.

Won't the top bar length depend on the height you want them off the ground? Set the bars at your desired height, stick a tape on there and measure a few inches extra is what I'd do... Them measue the distance between the two tube adapters once you mock that up to determine the final top tube length

Must not have talked to Corky.

The length needed for the top bars will partly depend on the lenght of the bottom bars, how the bottom bars mount to the housing, & how high off the ground their adjustable height range will be. Best bet is to mock-up the bottom bars with everything at desired ride height (car & w/bar wheels), then decide where the top mounts will go, then measure the length needed from top mounts to wheel brackets. Easiest way to decide what OD tubing to get for the top bars is to just use whatever OD tubing the kit already uses for the bottom bars if it's an all round tubing set.

Thanks for the replies fellas. I will use it and definitely give Corky a call.
