Title: Bars I.D
Post by: Flake on January 23, 2006, 08:51 PM

Any body got any ideas on these bars. They came off my TA and have a rub on sticker on the back TRIDENT. I've never heard of trident and don't know if the sticker was added later. I was going to bin them.Any help would be good :daumenhoch:

they can't be that bad if they are tig welded. Part two of old school collecting, tons of parts you might never use that you pile around your space.

Thanks for the replies dudes. I was only going to bin them (along with the other junk) because her indoors is moaning about clearing the garage out :rant:

So I guess I'll keep hold of them and stick them on my next build. Still like to know a bit more about them if there are any Trident experts out there.

It was a joint venture with Voris Dixon and Hotwheels...  build a quility made product, ship it over here by the container full and sell them under the Trident name for a realistic price.

I still want to buy 'em, let me know :)
