There is a feller I know who is not on this board, but is well connected with Otto's and Pelican and he fabricates a bar out of rectangular steel with a gusset. Weighs about six pounds, saving some weight. (Hey, even if it's low weight, it's weight)

I certainly do not think that Pelican or Otto's sold this bar, BUT......they are usually available at Pomona. I have one of his bars and it fits the side shift style shifter w/o a hole, just a dog leg.
