Hi Jan -
That tube is about 1/4” thick steel.... I have no doubt that it would successfully support the weight of the entire car, and more.
Since the bar sits solidly on the frame, and on the gussets, it protects those pinch welds, and won’t crush anything underneath the car.
I’m not sure if it would work in your situation or not, but you might check it out next time you get your car on a lift, or jacked up.

Very good, thanks. Although I have a belly pan, the front of the car is still open foreword of the front firewall so your set up would work on my car too. I hardly have a need to jack it up but its more convenient than using two jacks. By the way I see you have a 1.5 ton jack and I was thinking of getting one from Harbor Freight but wasn't sure if that was strong enough for the rear of the car (I currently have an old 3 ton, but its a bit tall). I like that 1.5 you have since it is low and doesn't weigh that much either, easy to move around for an old fart.
