LAKEWOOD ROLL BAR 3 POINT HELP

STREETRACE69 · #1 10-12-2009, 03:49 AM

First of I have been lurking here for a while and this is my first post. I have a really clean all orig 69 Camaro I am building into a day 2 deal and need some help. Resisting the Pro Tour makeover.

I have an old Lakewood 3 point bar but I can't find the pads that bolted to the floor. Actually I have 2 of them and am trying to figure out which one and where they bolt up. If someone has a pic of theirs it would help with placement. I think I am joint to weld in to just make it easier anyway.

Thanks In advance
Brian

Thanks,

I will take pics of the complete one that I have. It has removable plates but the bar also has slip joint with a through bolt at the end of each hoop. Also the rear bar or strut also has a slip joint with a through bolt. I was told all the bar were made the same and they just modified the attachments?

I will also get some measurements to compare. Yours is shorter from the crossbar to the drivers side mtg plate.

I am starting to think mine is not from a Camaro. One is shorter than the other.
Thanks again.

I think they are all the same except the feet. My bar came out of an old camaro race car that was being put back to stock and I lucked out because mine doesn't have the removable feet and has a factory padding applied. I think my bar was called the "Loop" in the Lakewood catalog from 1971. If you need measurements I can PM you my number and get whatever you need to put this back in a camaro. Mark

I believe they were all the same bar with different feet except for the vette and the VW bugs. They had a shorter version of the bar.

This is from a 1972 Lakewood catalog

Tommy,

What's up with that wrecked 69 SS Camaro. Looks like the 3 point bar did its job.

BTW, I have 3 Lakewood bars. Not sure what mounting feet I have but would be interested in some 68-72 Chevelle A-body feet if anyone has them.

Caleb Arone's DY Bryne Bros COPO has a nice 3 point bar if your looking for pics.
