[Spridgets] Sway Bar

I've been looking at the sway bar on my Turner & it looks pretty sad.  It is
likely the original and like much of the metal on this car must have been
rusty and was sand-blasted.  As a result, it's quite pockmarked.  And, being
just 1/2" thick, it isn't much good for serious racing.  So, I'm looking to
replace it.

I'm wondering how close a Spridget bar is to the Riley-type in the Turner?
Anyone have a Spridget bar handy you can measure?

The Turner's has the following dimensions:
Total spread of 30".
Main straight of c. 24"
Each side arm is c. 4"
Bend from front to sides is approx. 62-degrees, leaving c. 28-degrees from
sides to mounting flange.
Approx 5" front to back - front of middle section of bar to centerline of
hole in flange for link bolt.

Your help will be appreciated.  Thank you.
