How to make Caltrac traction Bars I found this on the internet and thought it might help. I've already done this with my shelby bars and so far it seems to work. I hope this helps! Terry Gates AKA BossmavTraction bars
Very good link! A great tech article. Wish I'd seen that before shelling out the $$$. I have a friend who is one helluva fabricator. He would love to have 'tried' that - and probably will on his '60's Falcon. Rick

building em now, a bro of mine is an aircraft certified tig welder. we use only the finest premium steels, and the bearings will be berrys. ill let ya know how they work, should only be pennies on the dollar. and work just as good, im almost tempted to integrate the slide a link into it somehow, for more versatility.
i made these back in 05/22/05 for my birthday. i had to work that day so i got some stuff together and cut them out. i got the specs. from Jerry (scrapper60)..frank...
Looks cool I was actually running this trough my mind today except i was using a shock absorber....but it would probally make tings worse....and i got no clue was i was doing.
I was tinking of using one of those strange ones that they make for acuras that dont give in if you press in a button or dial cant remeber...next time i go to an import show i'll get pics of them. i dont know why they use them in their cars?
