65 Override Traction Bar question

Sorry for the poor quality - Bottom picture is from a 65 carry over and appears that the mount is smaller than the earlier car (in the #400's)

 

Here is a picture from my 65. As you can see somebody,
probably an earlier owner has welded an extra reenforcement
bar on the front side to make it stronger.

TS you bring up a good point (or possibility) the upper two pictures are from a car in the 400's that had a few additions to it at one point (panard bar and such welded in) the bases could have been modified like your example

 

Hi Guys

Please some dimensions this is getting interesting for me too!
Here i just built the brackets for the snubbers what do you say to this??
With is a bit more than 2" (55mm) and 45mm in hight.
The snubber is modified from a newer german car.
What do you say??????

@Earl
Sorry for using your thread maybe it is interesting for you too i thought.









Bye Jerry

 

First thing that I notice about the bumpers is the fact that the ones you posted come to a point where the originals had flat ends approx 1 1/4" across

Also the body as more consistantly tapered

 

Hi Snakepit

I saw that too that the original is flat.
I´ll cut mine to fit. The bracket you should think is smaller?
Do you have numbers??

Thanks Jerry
