Re:HMT= Home Made Traction bars (CSaddict style)
It looks good. Now we just have to figure out if the purpose will be met.
I'd hate to see an HMT post go all HT techy type ----, but I think he is referring to the front joint. Look at the picture and think of what kind of tension would be on it with the suspension going up and down. The way that joint was mounted "horizontally" may have a problem when the suspension is compressed. Only one way to find out though. Looks good.

I don't see it being a problem. Those joints are like balljoints. They move very freely. I don't see the problem.

Look at the G sport/lakewood traction bars. I based this off that design.

I'd take a shot at the 88-91 if someone in the area has one and is willing to buy the parts. I'm in CT BTW.
