Ok, Cheap ass Ron.... the bar on my car is 40 inches long and is made of 
solid round steel of about a 1" diameter. The ends are shaved off so that 
they are square. It then uses 2 blocks on each end which have a triangle cut 
into them. They are then bolted to one another around the end of the bar so 
that the bar cannot move inside them. Each of these end peices then bolts to 
the front part of the beam. There is a plate that is tapped which fits inside 
the beam at the front. Holes are drilled straight through and the bolts 
threaded through into the plate. I think that's the best I can do for an 
explanation until I can get some pictures of it. HTH....
