Link bar building questions..

Im planning on building some 4 link bars and was wondering what you guys think for parts.(this is my first time)
Im thinking about 1.5" od x1/4" wt for the 4 bars and 2" od x1/4" for the bushing end links. I figure I'll need 8 ft of the 1.5 od and 2 ft of the 2" od. what should this cost me?

Cheapest poly bushings? [IMG]http://www.*****************/files/imagecache/product/Poly_Bushing_for_4-Link_End_0.jpg[/IMG] suicide sells them $7.99 ea

For threaded studs like this [IMG]http://www.*****************/files/imagecache/product/4-Link_Threaded_Stud_with_Jam_Nut_0.jpg[/IMG] has anyone made them from all thread? Or anyone know a cheaper source? $13.99 (suicide)

Threaded bungs?[IMG]http://www.*****************/files/imagecache/product/34-16Threaded4-LinkBung.jpg[/IMG] Anyone make them? or cheaper then $8.99?

Suicide sells bars already made for $50, [IMG]http://www.*****************/files/imagecache/product/4-Link_Round_Adj_Bar_with_Poly_Bushings.jpg[/IMG] I just figured I would ask to see if I could build them for less.

So Im basically a cheapo and trying to find the most costeffective route for my college budget. Ill need 4 bars about 25" center to center, so its either $199 from suicide or piecing them together myself.

feedback is apreciated, thanks.
