After market traction bars - similar to the traction master as used on 66 Shelbys though the materials are different.

Leave them off for concours

I think Jeff was referring to the front half of the traction bar that is typically welded to the frame rail. It makes for a good amount of work to take it off and make look like it was never there. The ones on the floor are in fact bolted under the spring plate.

They are TMC ( The original supplier for Shelby) traction master spring plate brackets.. However, this style replaced the original version about 1980. The original is cast and only has provision for three Ubolt holes instead of four, like the ones you have here.
