Fitting a Traction Bar? How To?
gizago:
Looks neat, but surely even though it goes through two layers of metal, youre putting all the force through one point, whereas if you use the bracket, its spread over both bolts??
And the Berg instructions say to tighten it up to raise the engine 1/4 inch??
Has anyone got a pic of a bumper bracket set-up?? That has to be the strongest point.
BeetleBug:
Berg did say a lot of things....
I have not been able to put it to a real test yet since I only got 220hp without the nitrous, using DOT tires and only managed a 1.58 60 ft on Europes best track. :) The hole is still like it was from the factory and the picture of my inner fender above (Zenith blue) is taken after the first season. You have to open the hole just a tiny bit since the two plates are not alligned.
Edit; I have seen one very neat bumper bracket set up but I can`t remember where.

you`re not supposed to tighten the traction bar even though I suspect quite a lot of people do so.
Thanks for the info, BB. What is your "spec" for tension on the bar, then?
Altho it seems like a simple thing, I've been held up over trying to "improve" the mounting.

The BUGPACK models mount off the bumper bracket area.
