You get 1 guess for what Matt does with the old speed equipment he posts up here.

Here are two more sets. I believe the yellow set is Lakewoods and they are NOS.

The orange set look like they could be NMW by the color or they could be very early Mr. Gaskets since they were painted orange as well.

The yellow bars are for 70-81 Camaro.

I believe the orange ones are Lakewoods. Someone could have blasted them and painted them orange. Never seen NMW's in that style..also the spring perch pads are identical to Lakewoods.

Ya know I have to ask. I've broken Muncies in every conceivable way and never broken a tail housing the way that one is in the backround.......what happened?

I'll post pictures of that one tomorrow. Blown up drag racing apparently.

This unit came with a pile of Muncies I purchased a few years back. Worse I've ever seen. I was only able to save the bearing retainer, some hardware, and one slider assembly. The guy told me he blew it up drag racing.

Thanks Whitetop. Check out page 5 of this thread. Post # 481325. There is a set of orange Mr. Gasket bars that look similar to these.

There are differences..look at the clamp that holds the spring u-bolt--it has square ends, not rounded like Lakewoods.

I've never seen a set of NMW slapper bars, but would be interested in buying a set if they were ever made. Has anyone seen a set in ads or even in person?
