Driveshaft Loops *pics*

[240hoke]

Just got done making my driveshaft loop this past weekend. Turned out to be a very easy and simple thing to do. Great for that added safety and to meet track requirements if you are running in the 12's.

 

I bought a driveshafts loop kit from Jeg's It came with two pieces of steel bent in a "U" shape and two 90 degree pieces to bolt it to hte floor, along with all the proper mounting hardware. The kits run 24.99 dollars (as cheap as you can buy the raw materials for)

Here is a picture:

 

I cut the and modified this to fit the z and clear my exhaust, here are some pictures:

 

 

 

I will post some other pictures later with it installed, I powdercoated it and mounted it up -- works great. I just thought I would pass this on as its easy, and cheap.

That looks good and something I def would need...... good job.

Is that rig supposed to wrap around the drive shaft but not touch it so when the shaft breaks/becomes loose the car does not pole vault over a pothole?

Thanks for the info. I was thinking installing in one in my LS1 Z also. For $24 I will probably pay more for the raw materials alone if I was building one.
