Day 2 Lakewood Traction Bars

[nuch_ss396]

OK,

I finally found a great pair of original day 2 traction bars
with the long backs for that day-2 look I'm after for another
project. I have two fast questions and hope someone can
help. What is the correct yellow color? These were painted
red way-back-when. Where can I get original style J-bolts
and nuts? Mine are missing. Are they still available?
Anybody got an old set of J-bolts just lying around and in
dire need of a home?

Paint them daytona yellow and the j-bolts are availible from Summit.

Hmmmm......Festus, MO. Is that near Herculaneum, MO.?

About 5 min away, why????

I had the J bolts made at a heavy truck suspension shop and they were much cheaper and better materials than summit etc.

I call it "obnoxious yellow"...I will check to see what yellow we used to repaint the Lakewoods on our 70 black car..

ps..you can also get new replacement snubbers for the ends..

Darren,

This was not meant to be a for sale ad. The reason I originally took the pictures is because the bars are scheduled to start tonight on EvilBay. I posted the picture here bacause I remembered this thread about the correct color of the bars and original unused pieces are probably the best we have to verify correctness.

I have posted informative pictures before and have sold the parts to members only to have other members upset that they did not have a shot at the part.

Again, I hope this post does not read as a for sale ad as that was not my intention. If any moderators view this as an ad please feel free to remove it.

Jason, can you post a picture of the bars with the interior sides showing? I think way you have them now shows the sides that face out when mounted? There is some debate as to which direction the Traction Action... stickers face on the interior sides. Thanks!
