Open question about 4000 Strut bars Jamex?

Mark,

I've been waiting to throw a wet blanket on this with trepidation. 
Although the Jamex bar is "cool" looking, it probably does not make 
sense to make them for the "enthusiast" crowd.  These are people (owners 
of old UrQs, 4kq(t)s, and cgts) who would very likely jump on a reason 
to move their battery to the trunk.  Then a simple straight pipe or bar 
will work, and all that is needed are end brackets.

And the 8A (I think that's the chassis style) OEM bar then works fine.

I have a Jamex on my coupe, we put a Sparco on Brendan's 4kq, and I have 
the 8A OEM thing on my 90Q (wait, I didn't have to move the battery... 
just the cruise pump), and the OEM one was far and away easiest to 
install.  And the parts were under $70.

Now, if they aren't readily available any more, I'd say that would be 
the set up to duplicate.

I only have a few, crappy pictures that show the Sparco & Jamex, 
although I could go out in the snow and take fresh ones of the Jamex.
