Default Re: slapper bars and scattershield opinions

Lakewood shield , Pre 1970....the sight hole, gauge hole at bottom center defines this. Outlawed by NHRA shortly after 1970 ish.
The Thick surrounding flange also dates this to mid 60's and later but not beyond 1971.
The Plate....IDK...I see no louvers or holes for airflow....
Odd it doesn't.... the starter hole knockout is odd too.

The Bars are the earliest design of rectangular , short bars....the mounting pad is key.
Later 70's into 80's....
90's are even chincier.... generic as we know them compared to early stuff.....
Keep in mind....these bars can be even earlier than late 70's.....as Lakewood offered these along with the now ultra scarce , Competition Bars....the Square, Long Bars.
Not all applications had Competition Bars available. But the rectangular bars were.
