Down under shots NOS Hooker headers, box dated 1974, good fit. Lakewood drive shaft loop. It was on the car so we used the holes that were there.

One question for you. I noticed the nice wedges you used for the Lakewood bars. Did you source, fabricate them or were they part of the original kit?
I finally repainted and installed a set of traction bars on my 69 and I need to install some wedges. I don't like the ones that are available main stream. I really would rather have a set that go the full width of the mount and are held in with the j bolts etc like you have. Thanks.

Grady had the wedges in his stash of day two goodies. They were not fabricated .
They my have been Lakewood ? Grady would remember.

Just disassembled my TB's from 1971. These are the wedges that were in mine.

The wedges were with the bars that are on the car. I believe them to be vintage Lakewood. We removed them from my 69 Nova that Mike restored in 07 that I think were installed on the Nova when it was new.

Thank you. Seems like those are harder to find then hens teeth. My oldest son has access to a machine shop. Mech. Eng. student. He's going to make up a set for me. I feel like the ones you're running, full width, are a lot stronger. I'll just run the spring width ones until he's able to finish them.
Thanks again for the info.

The Calvert Racing shims look a lot like the ones posted in the pictures.
