I hope that rear bar is going to be stiff enough. Is it steel or aluminum?

Tom,

It's hardware store 1/2" zinc plated steel bar. I had to mill some flats on it so that's why I made it 1/2". It sits on top of two 8mm bolt heads, thus the need for the flats. In the image below, you can see the tips of the bolt heads (in red) behind the rod. The bolt is tapped 8-32 through to mount the rod onto the bolt head. The other image is a top view of the rod.
