i have now aquired the correct bars but they are cut down.can anybody tell me the original width of the bars?

Just roughly measured mine and they're 28"

got my detail sander on these yesterday and nitromorsed around the welds this morning.as you can see by the pics,the knurled part is in really good condition.also pulled out the bars,a minstrels wrapper from1994,a drinking straw and something bought from spar.probably somebodys lunch whilst out riding

1994 that's more than a decade ago!

They came off a bit of a mid school 90s contraption, cyclecraft frame with s&m pitchforks sr stem among others

they have certainly done the rounds.in some places they had rusted right through but thats all gonna be sorted.took them round me mates house this afternoon.he tidyed up the ends with a pipe cutter.hes gonna cut the ends of some doner bars,then his dad is gonna TIG them back on.they will be alot longer so all i have to do is cut them back to 28".job done
