Early 80's rear lower arms are 40mm diameter and a wall of about 3mm thick (very poor), just make them 50mm with a wall of around 8mm thick... worked for me
I have never played with the top rear arms, but they look solid 20mm diameter.

I beleive that they are hollow. Dow50r cut and shortened his and i think he put a 19mm bolt inside them and welded them up..

on my GQ SWB which is being extended, i have some 36mm OD by 16mm ID, thus giving me a strong 10mm wall,
if you looking for it, its known as hollow bar, i know a couple of places in sydney who normally stock it,
