David,
5/8 is the standard MGB sway bar which is used on front end of the Unique roadster. (The entire original front suspension on Uniques was full MGB. The unit transferred easily to the rear because of track width and simple bar design) A sway MGB bar can be procured in varying diameters between 5/8" and 1" and larger by special order through any MG performance house. What you have on your car may either reflect the previous owner or what was being spec'd by Unique at the time. The front bar can go to the rear without issue, it is the same bar. 1/8" diameter in a sway bar will not be noticed unless your suspension is already perfectly dialed in. (Very few Cobra suspensions are - including ours)
The cost of the rear sway bar kit from Unique is not the bar itself, that can be purchased from any number of places for $90. It is the hardware, design, and customer service that drive the price.
BTW, the slimmest of electric puller fans is about 2" thick with the high performance models running between 3" and 4". If you are making a list of projects, I'd place a SPAL fan on it near the top. There is not a lot of surface area or shrouding on those pusher fans to keep the car cool in traffic!
