I will have to measure them as it was a few years ago, but I believe I used 2mm by 1.5"dia. I would rather have had straight bars but that design would have required a major re think of the engine bay lay out so the gussets are to prevent any flexing in the bends

Paul - Is this why you had the wheels tramping? Ie you did not have any fitted?
