Hey guys, looking for some dimensions of the Lakewood Competition "slapper" Traction bars that were popular in the 60's & 70's on street/strip cars. I can find a ton of pictures but no spec's (length, width, height, etc.). Looking  to build a set for my 1/12 scale 69 Camaro project. Any help will be much appreciated.

Thanks....Marty

The ones I have on my car are 2x3 tubing. They roughly 26 inches long. The angle iron that the u-bolts go through to mount the bars are 2 1/2 inches wide at the widest part. The front and rear pieces of angle are roughly 12 inches apart. I added a piece of flat stock about 2 inches from the snubbed to "load" the bars. Hope this helps.
