Nickey Traction Bars
Been thinking about these, but the price is steep. Well, I think its steep, I'm a tightwad. Anyone ever try to make some? doesn't look too difficult. Maybe get some bottom plates and some steel? https://www.gss-supercars.com/wp-con...Bars-Promo.png

They wouldn't be too hard to fabricate, but on E bay you can buy about any brand traction bar you would want for less than they want for the Nickey decaled ones. Starting at $149/pr.

If you have a welder you can make your own. When I had a leaf spring car, I liked the snubber on the eye of the spring or closer to it.

Consider using a half leaf from the perch to the front eye....works great in my friend's 68 bird with a 428 manual.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
