Bentley, The early Lakewood bars that I have had had the clamping arrangement like in the below pictures. I Believe that is what you are referring to.Also the bars were different lengths, passenger side being longer. The ones that I had stripped to bare metal where yellow. The picture you refer to of Bill Jenkins car they appear to be white,Rob.

Rob, That is the clamping style I have and referred to. Mine are different lengths. The only paint I found was white and a red front about the length of the decal and terminating on a diagonal. These have not been in use for at least 40 years. Possible they were stripped and painted?

I have only ever used the large "U" bolt style clamp and both bars were the same length. I assume the twisted metal versions were earlier? I also only saw them sold in yellow. Bought my first pair in 1970. Jenkins painted most everything underneath white in those days. Helped reflect the heat. Plus, he customized his Lakewood bars up some too.

Yes, there is no telling what could’ve happened through the years with these old parts. Here is a set of bars that had me stumped when I stripped them.
Painted yellow with Mr. gasket decals, under that orange with the Mr. gasket logo and under that yellow with the Lakewood traction action markings!

Yup...saw those M&H's in there too Sam. Send those my way would you Rob?
Those bars you had must have been old stock Lakewood when Mr. Gasket bought them out. Likely repainted orange around that time and given the new logo to promote Mr. Gasket over Lakewood? Then followed by another round of yellow paint by a car owner some time down the line. If they could tell stories?

Anyone have any pics of the Hurst Adjust-a-bar Traction bars? I have looked online and nothing. Someone posted pics back in 2007ish but those pictures don't show up now.
