My own rear brace

I wasn't completely satisfied with everyone else's solution to the rear brace so I made my own.

I bought two M10 metric rod ends from Midwest Control Products. These have holes for an M10 bolt and M10 external threads. One right hand, and one left hand threaded and corresponding lock nuts. $34.

Then I had a 19mm solid aluminum 6061 bar end threaded to accept the rod ends. $18 for taps, the bar was free and it was machined on a lathe.

I bought two 50mm long M10x1.5 stainless bolts to mount it to the chassis. $5

The bar only weighs 1 lb 2oz.
