I have #689 with dog legged bars. Are the bolts supposed to be fine thread or course thread. Thank you.
477 has straight bars , rubber boots (only) and fine thread bolts. I have "one" spare kinked bar if anyone needs one.

Randy,
I hate to question you about this after you’ve owned you car for so many years and know it so well, but would you please double check on the traction bars?
I started tracking those a few years back. Every car I have from 6S253 down has straight bars. Every car I have from 6S269 up has kinked bars. And your 477 is on that list as having kinked bars. The problem is that any car on that list could have been misreported. I noted the source of the data on some of the cars, but unfortunately did not do that for 477. So I have no idea who reported your car as having kinked bars.
In any case, would you confirm 477 for me? I’ll update my list with what you provide. It’s an ongoing research project and I’m always happy to correct errors or get new data.
If you’re interested I have these cars near 477:
452
463
476
480
524
550
554
585
All those have been reported to have kinked, over-ride traction bars.
Thanks,
Steve
Update on 01-18-21. Randy (gt350hr) checked on his 6S477 and it has dog leg traction bars. He changed his reply #7 accordingly. Special thanks to Randy for taking the time and making the extra effort to follow up on this.
