I just purchased a rear 3/4" sway bar from J.C. Whitney two or three
weeks ago and I've been fitting it up this past week on my bare 74 TR6
frame. This bar is a genuine Addco ( I called them to verify) and it
only cost 85 bucks plus shipping. The design is similar to the Kastner
setup and I talked to the Brit designer that did it some 20 years ago. 

The front 7/8" bar came from British parts Northwest (Check Hemmings).
This bar cost approx. 91 bucks plus shipping and looks good. 

TRF, although I do support them buying thousands in parts and going to
their summer party for the last 4 years) is too pricey for their
performance parts (Richard Goode stuff).

Anyways look a little harder in the Whitney catalog and look under car
performance sway bars and you will find a blanket number and place the
order. You should be able to get the rear and if you can't get the front
try B.P.N.W.

Good Luck
