As Skip Fix mentioned, the good slapper bars are long enough to put the snubber right under the center of the spring eye, and have a built in plate to replace the factory spring plate. I don't think any other style is of much use as a traction aid. My son's 69 Bird is running a set of the CE slapper bars and they do a credible job.
