Default Traction bars

Here's an ad from August '68 for Foxcraft traction bars. They appear to use the stock spring plate like the original Nickey/Bill Thomas bars did. There are some NOS Foxcraft bars for tri-five Chevys on ebay... http://www.ebay.com/itm/Foxcraft-NOS...item282e803162

I have a pair of those in the original box for Camaro-Nova. Bought them on eBay ten years ago for my '67 and never used them.

Default Re: Traction bars

Here are some original Bill Thomas traction bars for a '67 Camaro. They appear to have been painted the same color silver-blue that they used on the '67 Z-28 factory headers. Somebody bent the ears for the lower shock mount for some reason but I'll work on getting that rectified.

Oh geez,,, Bill Thomas Headers are so not Day 2.... Factory support via "skunk race car shop"
You need to donate these wrong color , no collector flange wanna be headers to my Day 2 in disguise museum of orphans.
I'd even donate back to you 2 sets of Summit modern Chinese headers of your choice and a set of Mexican Hookers so you can stay in "tune"....
I may ,,,just saying, I may just put these on my '68 for shits n giggles.....

How far forward do they reach on the springs Sam? Assuming they're on a 69 I would imagine the snubbers are about 2" back from the eyelet?

Here's a set that kind of look like post 346.

We've had these on the nomad since the mid 70's. I think my father bought them sometime in the 60's and ran them on one of his tri-5's back then.

I don't even remember what brand they are anymore. Sorry for the poor picture, that's all I can get at the moment.

Nevermind, I'd have to resize the file, beyond my capabilities.
