A while back I saw a post about these, I Found some old catalogs and thought you guy might want the correct answers to the post. Just look at the price in 1970. Scott
Old thread or not, those are pretty cool, would have to have a set to match my ET lll................
I feel I have been to a LOT of swap meets, parts auctions and car shows. I have never seen a pair of these traction bars. They are really cool! But I wonder if they had a breakage problem.
Our store was an E,T ,distributor for Dick Beith during the late 50s-thru the 70s..I don't recall ever selling a set of those bars
I had a pair....sold them like a moron. Only set id ever seen before or since..and that was about 10 years ago...
I once seen a Magnesium set go for $2400, or was it just an old Chrome set of Ansen's for $24, can't remember now! There's a handful of HAMBER's casting some great pieces at there home base shop's, I have a bunch of Aluminum Bell housings, empty trans cases, etc, I would donate to the recasting project.................
I'd take a set of the bars, a set of the vw et mags and a couple cans of bronze touch up paint, so when you guys are ready to order let me know and maybe we can get a group rate !! ..
I have the mags, and touch up but no bars, looking at maybe having to make some look a likes using bent Aluminum & plates instead of waiting for a founder to cast production. Any body have it in with Obrien Truckers? Maybe they would like to cast a hundred or so?
