HELP! Granberg bar question

[ErnieG]

I recently acquired this Granberg bar and was wondering if it's worth a new tip or just toss it ?
Rails are decent but tips loose and dented up bad .
Thanks

Is it straight? What does the groove measure out to?
The tip looks bad but not useless. With a fair amount of grinding, tighten up the rivets, it might make a good spare.
Needs a bath
How hard is it to get tips for those?

Yea it's nice and straight and it's a 3/8 groove .
Im sure I can clean up the rails but I'd like to change the tip but I found a few different kinds .
The Granberg tips are available for around $35 then there is a GB which looks the same but I'm not certain and also Forester has them so.....
I've never ran into a Granberg bar so I'd need some advice on a tip ?

Thanks

That's a GB bar. Granberg sells them, but they are a separate company located in Australia.
