Wouldn't it be easy to just make the bars a tad longer and add a grove for a C clip like racing karts use on the rear axle to keep the hub from sliding off? Wouldn't work on the back of my chassis, but on a 30" bar car would it work? Just thought it would be under $10 and be very easy.

We just use thread rod that goes all of the way through the bars with large fender washers and lock nuts on both ends.
Someone suggested cutting the torsion bar tubes on the frame, which would shorten them up and give you more bar sticking out. Then cutting the groove and putting a snap ring on, but that sounds like work to me. (lol)
That might also be difficult in the rear on a car that is fully assembled.
If you want to spend some money there is a company that offers a wedge type devise that clamps into the end of your bars, that would probably work as well.
Never hit stationary objects!

Yes, Schroeder t bars are made for use of a clip. You can get them from Kreits and Kaeding I think. I would not do a cob job and cut off my torsion bar tubes. You have to replace t-bars I would hope every year depending on races you run per year. DMI has new bars that have a screw in alum. plug. For sure use them on right front bar, and suggest left front also, but right front for sure.
