I've been thinking about the same thing, but without the adjustability.
So basicaly just bracing the 5 points that a Kafer cup brace is using.

The reason for the threaded ends is the ability to tighten everything, thus pre-tensioning the rear frame geometery which will eliminate the frame horns from flexing. Without this provision, the chassis will still flex, but will be limited by the welded in bracing.

Square tubing should work as well as round tubing.

hello mate
true one of the reasons for treaded ends is to put some tesion in to it but also to make up the production tolarance that always happens when building cars and braces.
