For what it's worth, I think they're worth having on your car. Traction Master traction bars ( the ones offered as a dealer option in the 1960's for Tigers) are still being made. The website is www.t

If you're a stickler for LAT originality then you can add them to your car... BUT: The weld-on ones essentially over-determine the rear axle location, and it will tear something to pieces over time..

That looks pretty slick! Be interesting to see an installed setup and find out from the owner how well it works, but I like how clean it looks. Best Regards David Sosna

This design has been around for a while. Its hallmark is that it does not jack the chassis from the rear suspension during hard breaking nor bind the suspension during cruise. It only limits the upwa

in normans book he says " when set up properly you can feel them come into play" (the traction bars). How do you set them up? It looks to me like you just bolt them on tight. Also do you leave off t

The Tiger traction bars are manufactured by Traction Masters in CA (213-382-1131). The adjustment is just a matter of how tight you tighten the u-clamps at the front of the springs. They are not tra

Sorry, but you missed on this one. Because there is a pivot at the point of axle attachment ,if the clamp at the front is not tight it will just slide up the spring and do nothing. Right? The normal
