Here's how I made a side bar and mount. For the bar I used 1/2 inch electrical conduit. The end caps are the brass of a 12 gauge shell. And the mount is angle iron. I first cut a 8 inch piece of conduit.Then I cut the plastic part of the 12 gauge shell and drilled holes in them. After that I put the bolt through the brass end from the inside out.Before glueing the end caps on I filled the rod with sand to give it some weight.Then I glued the ends onto the conduit. After that I got down to making the mount.This was done by getting two 1 inch pieces of angle iron and drilling a small hole and bolting them together. After that I had to grind a corner of the one piece to allow it to rotate. With the mount and bar both finished I bolted them together,this is from the bottom Here's a top view The second hole is for the stabilizer to go through. Then I put it onto the bow and here's the finished product. I'll probably paint it to match my other diy stabilizer
I painted the side bar last night and just put it on along with my other DIY stab and so far I really like it.
