need some help- front sway bar measurements

I'm looking for a sway bar for a different application, I'm considering using an RX8 front sway bar.

so.... I need some dimensions of a stock RX8 front bar, if someone would be gracious enough to help me out.

here's some dimensions that would be really helpful:

diameter
distance between mount points (inside to inside of bushings & outside to outside)
width @ end link mount points (inside & outside dimensions)
radius of rotation



much thanks in advance!

distance from main bar centerline to the endlink hole centerline is 7.375" (side dimension)

the distance between the outside bar ends where the endlinks mount is 42" (very bottom dimension)

the arm thickness where the endlinks mount is 1/4" (41.5" distance between the inside endlink mounting points per your arrows)

I'll have to measure the pivot bushing mounting point dimensions

Thanks! looks like it will fit! I also want to confirm that they don't have any bend in the middle... it's straight across between the mounts, correct?
