i'll take a stab at what their made of....
looks like 50mm for the outer pipe and 60mm for the inner, mounted to the chassis on 5mm "U" shaped plate with bolts at the top.

Mine certainly aren't as pretty as Troopy93's but were a piece of piss to make. Just 50x100 RHS with caps welded on the ends (angled to match weelarches). U-shaped mounts to go around the chassis made of 6mm? plate, 50x50 RHS gusseted outriggers. They're not super strong, but if they do flex to the point of contacting the sill, the force will be spread evenly over the length of the sill (besides, my sills are stuffed anyway
)
