Default Motion Corvette Traction bar.

Does anyone have pictures of the traction bar of Mike Rusden's 1969 Corvette. It was the feature car of August 2003.

I wish my computer never crashed 2 years ago. I had pictures of a complete Motion traction bar assembly for Corvette that I had for sale. I lost a lot of good reference photos when that computer crashed.

From what I remember about it, all that the bar was made up of was two factory lower strut rods that attached with brackets that were welded to the crossmember and connected to the rear spring retaining bracket.

the round bar one was a Traction Master
lakewood and NMW also made them by welded flat stock

That green 482 MP Corvette was not a 1969 build
I think it was built in 1973

search "corvette traction bar" on ebay
there are 3 different ones on there

Are these the "flat bar stock" bars that you're talking about? I took them off of my RS COPO Camaro. They were installed in 1969.

Thanks Dan for helping to post the picture. I saw the same bar design in two of the Motion parts ads. I do not know who manufactured the bar but I was hoping someone on the site has some pictures of this bar on a documented Motion vette.
