Re: Lakewood Traction bars, 67-69 Camaro 68-72 Nova
 

Wow! Two Dans, a Dave and a Don! Don, they should sell &quot;Lickety-Split&quot;!!! I'd say some guys want them with original paint.....I'll wish you &quot;Good Luck&quot; with the sale, but you probably won't need it.

Re: Lakewood Traction bars, 67-69 Camaro 68-72 Nova
 

I believe that this has been discussed before, but does anyone know when Lakewood changed from the square bars to the rectangular bars? The reason that I am asking is that my Boss 9 had rectangular bars on it when I got it. The second owner (late 70s) said that they were on the car when he got it, but I haven't been able to confirm when the first owner put them on the car. If they would have been available in Oct '69 I think I'll clean them up and re-install them.

Re: Lakewood Traction bars, 67-69 Camaro 68-72 Nova
 

Bergy, it wasn't a running change. The square bars (from what I've read and been told) were for &quot;racing only&quot; applications. The rectangular style were more for &quot;street/strip&quot;. I've got several sets of rectangular ones, but my car had the square style and that's why I wanted these.

Re: Lakewood Traction bars, 67-69 Camaro 68-72 Nova
 

Around 1971 or so Bruce. Many Speed Shops still had the square bars a little after that because they were still in their inventory.
1971 is a fair time frame in my opinion.

Re: Lakewood Traction bars, 67-69 Camaro 68-72 Nova
 

Catalog posted before by Dan R. Note t hy e square tube pic shows the early design with the twisted cleat J bolt bracket. Seems both square and rectangular were out in 1969 and like Sammy said- the square tube went out circa 1971.

Re: Lakewood Traction bars, 67-69 Camaro 68-72 Nova
 

Just wanna tell everyone that the bars arrived today. Don kept emphasizing just how nice they were, and BOY!!!! Was he right! He under promised and over delivered in a BIG way! These are too nice to use.......but I'm gonna anyway!!!!! I now have three sets of rectangular bars that I'll be offering here or elsewhere. I also have a friend who is in the preliminary stages of fabricating a set of square bars. if anyone has interest in the rectangular style shoot me s message and we'll chat.
THANKS AGAIN DAN!!!!!

I remember seeing traction bars for $20 bucks a set , guess I should start picking them up from now on , those square ones would dig into something on the street ..

Re: Lakewood Traction bars, 67-69 Camaro 68-72 Nova
 

Do the square ones contact the spring eye or are they short like the other bars ?

No , They are approximately 26 inches forward of the axle centerline (verical centeline). Pretty much The same as other's.

Re: Lakewood Traction bars, 67-69 Camaro 68-72 Nova
 

I remember swapping out old springs that were bent from the snubers hitting the springs ..

Re: Lakewood Traction bars, 67-69 Camaro 68-72 Nova
 

Looking at the catalog picture , I wonder why the J bolts weren't like the rectangle bars so you could use U- bolts instead of the T bolts ?

Re: Lakewood Traction bars, 67-69 Camaro 68-72 Nova
 

Designed evolve. Not everything is considered on version 1.0

The square tube bars were the revolutionary 1st production design.
