Re: Single wheelie bar
 

it "may" be that the spring is captured on each end so that the spring is stretched or expanded as the lower bar increases in length. Looks to me like the upper bars would swing up and the lower bar has a telescoping section that stretches the spring. More details would be a good thing. I also would like to know the builder.

Here is the car it's installed on. So, if I understand, the only advantage to the single bar is in case of breakage?

Have seen the car and the wheelie bar. It is an aluminum plate that uses cover mounting studs. It is sandwiched between the housing and cover presumably with longer studs. No additional mounting or attachment. Very cool.

Troy Henderson a/s also has built a single wheelie bar as mentioned in a previous post here.

Re: Single wheelie bar
 

I'm seeing more singles all the time. I put a set of regular bars on mine, and about the second time I tested with them it got up on them too hard at Tulsa, and I about took out the tree. I took them back off, until I can figure out how to use them. Been looking hard at going to a single bar. Slate Cummings has a single bar on his LS1 stocker. Looks like a good deal to me.

Re: Single wheelie bar
 

I see them used on small tire stockers mostly but, will they work as well on a big tire car like a super stock or a bracket car?

Re: Single wheelie bar
 

With the single wheelie bar, there is less roll resistance. Also, I would imagine that it takes possible unnecessary adjustments out of the equation, making it easier to tune the suspension and probably adding to consistency.

The one that Ken Keir makes is probly the neatest set up for a 12 bolt. If i remember right it sandwhiches a plate between the housing and rear cover so when working on the gear its completely out of the way. He was advertising it at the MIR race this fall but cant remember how much it was. Hell of a nice guy to talk to as well. Been building comp cars longer then ive been alive, very good name. Dave F posted his info a page back.
