Ultra rare Timber brake system?

Post by Jim McClellan » Mon May 18, 2020 6:16 pm

I am thinking I may have stumbled across a very rare Timber brake system “installed” on this late model Rear end. At first I thought about removing it but it has kinda grown on me.

It goes against my grain to make puns on the Legitimate side of the forum but this one has me stumped. The root problem is to keep the car from lumbering along when you want to stop. Maybe I can't see the forest for the T's.
I saw it coming.
When did I do that?

Im going out on a limb here, and I have no stake in this but It looks like a do it yourself spoke kit for emergency repairs. Getting back to our roots so to speak. It wood work in a pinch.

Looks like an early version - the later ones branch off to incorporate the adjoining leaves as well...

I hate to see this thread end. Puns like these don't grow on trees.
The old forums are a gold mine of information.

Was made by a backwoods accessories company. Here's a picture of a timber bumper accessory made by the same company.
