[BaadAssGremlins] Re: Caltrac traction bars

["Robert" <baddassgremlin@xxxxxxx>]

I put a set in my 73 Gremlin, but I have not completed the restoration yet, so I have not had it on the road yet to test them out... BUT, the quality of the  product was great,, the installation and fit was great, overall I am impressed and feel it was worth the money... The part number that I ordered was #1020 listed as 68-74 Javelin/AMX with staggered shocks. THEN, I had to call them back because I overlooked the fact that I had also put a ford 9" rear into the Gremmy, so I now had the larger 3" diameter axle tube housing to deal with on the installation.. The bottom spring plates that came with Part #1020 would not allow the shocks to mount properly (shocks were too close to axle housing)... I sent the bottom plates back along with my stock plates so they could get the shock mount angles and locations correct, and they made a new set that worked perfect for the larger diameter housing... They said they would save these specs for when they got another order for a gremmy with a 9" rear. Hope this helps you........ Bob in MN.
