Title: Re: T-Bars or not? Post by: Pekka on March 27, 2006, 15:26:48 pm Funny how t-bars actually were put on VWs to be legal in California. Now we put them on for looks although they are illegal to run in many countries....

Post by: wide-5 on March 29, 2006, 20:00:47 pm I have made some t-bars of stainless steel. Fits great to my ride.
If someone else want t-bars like this, it's possible for me to make some. Looks good, and not to wide. Title: Re: T-Bars or not? Post by: Turtle001 on March 29, 2006, 20:46:31 pm hey wide-5 -- any pics?

True cal-lookers never use front license plate ... you should know that Georg. Cheers, Dokke I usually keep my front plate on the window defroster vent when on the street to keep the police at least partly happy... The hide it in the glove compartment ::) Title: Re: T-Bars or not? Post by: BABOON on April 05, 2006, 23:13:16 pm My girlfriend Tessa got a ticket last year for driving without the front registration plate >:(.
To prevent more tickets in the future, we made a simple 90 degree bracket on the side of each t- bar. I guess it was about 3-4 mm thick and they fit inside the gasket together with the t-bar. That way the registration plate is located between the t-bars. I prefer running without the plate in front. Plates ruin the whole look :'( Title: Re: T-Bars or not? Post by: Turtle001 on April 06, 2006, 08:45:24 am hey baboon -- do you have a pic of that ?
Title: Re: T-Bars or not? Post by: jose del orto on April 06, 2006, 08:54:15 am Baboon,
the same happened to me here in Switzerland about 1 hour after having mounted the T-Bars on my 55: ticket for about 40 Euro. That was bad luck, I didn't even have a bigger engine! What I learned from this event is following: T-Bars for show, No T-Bars to be quicker, Bumpers to make a big engine more "anonimous" when driving around. Cheers Jose Title: Re: T-Bars or not? Post by: Berger on April 06, 2006, 10:37:47 am ... Bumpers to make a big engine more "anonimous" when driving around. Cheers Jose That`s one of the reasons I`m running WITH bumpers..... :-\ (http://forum.vw2you.com/Public/Uploads/Post-24-654-Startplata.JPG) Title: Re: T-Bars or not? Post by: BABOON on April 06, 2006, 22:50:39 pm hey baboon -- do you have a pic of that ? Not at the moment. I can take a few pictures next time I am in the garage. Stay tuned.. Title: Re: T-Bars or not? Post by: BABOON on April 07, 2006, 16:28:39 pm I found a picture. Not that easy to see the brackets, but they are there ;D
Title: Re: T-Bars or not? Post by: Gregor/DFL on April 07, 2006, 17:52:04 pm Hi Baboon-
Great car! I especially like the colour of it! What is it? An "official" VW colour or something like "glossy Nato olive"? Title: Re: T-Bars or not? Post by: Mags on April 07, 2006, 19:26:02 pm Georg, 55-56 buss Color.
Title: Re: T-Bars or not? Post by: Gregor/DFL on April 07, 2006, 19:29:28 pm Thanks! Is there a special "name" or code for the colour?
Btw: I am Gregor, not Georg ;) I know, the two names are quiet similar... Title: Re: T-Bars or not? Post by: Tessa on April 07, 2006, 20:02:02 pm The color code is: L-312, Palm Green.
The picture is of a 1958 T-2, but the color was available from 1955-58 on T-2`s only. Title: Re: T-Bars or not? Post by: Sander/DVK on April 07, 2006, 22:11:42 pm For me is that T2 brown and not green..
Title: Re: T-Bars or not? Post by: BABOON on April 08, 2006, 01:24:28 am It is a dark picture. This type 2 is green, and it is the same color.
Title: Re: T-Bars or not? Post by: Sander/DVK on April 08, 2006, 09:21:04 am Strange ::)
Title: Re: T-Bars or not? Post by: BABOON on April 08, 2006, 20:57:25 pm hey baboon -- do you have a pic of that ? Here you go.. Title: Re: T-Bars or not? Post by: Turtle001 on April 08, 2006, 21:54:23 pm thanx! gonna make some myself ;-)
Title: Re: T-Bars or not? Post by: Pekka on April 10, 2006, 21:44:50 pm That's a nice idea for the license plate, I might try that too...
BTW, Baboon, how much is the front beam narrowed on that car? Title: Re: T-Bars or not? Post by: BABOON on April 10, 2006, 22:36:20 pm Well, to get those Cal-Parts nicely under the front wings the beam had to be narrowed 10 cm (4 inches). 145`s up front. Those wheels must be for buggies ;D ;D
Title: Re: T-Bars or not? Post by: Lee.C on April 10, 2006, 23:44:06 pm They sure are Baboon ;)
Title: Re: T-Bars or not? Post by: donder on July 03, 2006, 23:39:50 pm thanx! gonna make some myself ;-) I gotta see that, if you need some help ;) donder Title: Re: T-Bars or not? Post by: Mangokid on July 04, 2006, 20:09:17 pm Well i used to sport 'em, until i found that just about "everyone" did. So, why not dare to be a little bit different, bend a few "rules" and see if you're still accepted, still cal-look, so now i run a b-bar in the ass, and a single nerf up front for towing, just in case. Didn't like the look of those alu-things.
