Saddelup Custom Traction Bar

[jmaples]

I contacted Saddleup and he is willing to make some of his traction bars if anyone is interested. His would go for $200.00. Is anyone interested? He wants at least 3 people.

Got pics?

 

[SaddleUp]

Here are some pics. The first one is the one I made a few months ago for another member. Then a couple of it under mine and few on the ramp at SOB X showing that it still flexes just as well as before.

To do this I would like to get between 3 and 5 people. Any less and I loose all the profit in the labor to do them. I also need to finish up the current project I'm working on and get it rolling so it would be about 3 weeks before I could build them.

I'd be in if it will fit with my ZF/doubler set-up. I have atrocious axle wrap problems. My rear driveline is about half as long as yours though. Where does the cross member connect to the frame at? If I know that location I will be able to tell if I can use one.

Not sure if you realize it or not but I have a C6/203/205 in mine. Your ZF setup can't be much longer than it is I don't think. Doesn't really matter though. I can vary the length of the top bar to get the crossmember wherever it needs to be.

I did know you had that set-up. I took a closer look at the picture and your driveline looks just like mine. Maybe it just looks longer with that sweet bar next to it. I'm in. Paypal?

 

[SaddleUp]

Just need one more now. Paypal works best for me. Need to hold off on shipping though so I can get an exact amount once they are made. (I think it was around $25 for the other one) Might be able to get Jason's to him without shipping. I know Nate comes down this way every once in awhile (I patched his soft top up for him a couple of weeks ago) and we can probably get him to take it back that way unless I find a good excuse to drive up there myself.

BTW, I'll need a measurement from the rearend to the point where the crossmember will go and then I also need to know if it's the banjo housing (most common) or the tapered housing (76/77 style).

$35 shipping. Just need to send Payment to me through Paypal at the email address on the first page of my web site. (Or send me an email for other options) Then I need a measurement from the rearend to the point where the cross member will go (Be sure the driveline will clear) and I need to know which rearend housing is used. (Early style or tapered 76/77 style)

OK I feel lame here, but I would like one, but I am about 4 months out as I have other priorities. Saddleup do you think you will make a batch of these again?

Thanks

Possibly. We'll see how it goes this time with making a few at a time. If I'm able to cut a bunch of time off the labor this way (I should be able to) then I may be up to making more later as long as I can get a few people at a time.
