Vintage Traction Bars

[Salvatore]

Was one bar cut down? Also some bars where for mono leaf and multi leaf.

Sam, It doesn't look like one was cut down, also they are weathered the same so I think they are a matched set. However, this stuff is close to 40 years old so who knows. I just want to figure out if these are supposed to be this way before I take 2 inches off the longer. These are very hard to find so I don't want to mess them up.

Here are a few pictures of mine still on my car.

Bill - Here are a couple shots of the Lakewood bars on my car. These work very well, I'm running 10 sec
times with a 28 X 10 tire.
As you can see the shock mounts on the outside of the frame rail, so the shock mount bracket also needs
to be on the outside.
I don't know the length of your bars - mine are 32" - if I were to cut mine down that would place the snubber
in the wrong location.
(Don't mind the dirt and cobwebs it's been a long winter!)
Hope this helps - Glenn

Ok Sammy, next time come over to the house and you can see them in person...

Maybe I'm not getting it - but - aren't the shock mounts both on the left side of the bars?

Now if you bolt both those bars up - won't the shock mount be over here?

Yes they are ... however if you look on the front side of the axle plate there is a flatstock plate that extends off of both sides... there are holes to mount shocks on both sides of it (one hole on the inside and one on the outside)
