Ive made a few going back to ford/mitsi days.

a round connecting bar would be strongest as I found, but you need ideally a nice light alloy of some sort which is strong too. steel is more flexible than you think.

dimensions, if not making it adjustable, then ensure you make the cross bar slightly too small...thus tensioning it when you bolt it all in.

welding...has to be tig imo...keeps heat deformation to a minimal and looks the beesknees
Wishes for more power...
