Driveshaft loop

[RT/ED]

Been searching the internet for a while looking for a drive shaft loop that would work on my Gen 1. Found one on EBAY that was made for NASCAR - $25. Made up a 1 3/4" pipe with end plates to complete the install. Next project is the half shaft loops. Better safe than sorry!

That's a very clean install. Were these one-off's or is someone selling copies on eBay?

The one piece loop assembly with bottom retaining rings was made for a NASCAR ARCA application. It was purchsed on EBAY from "USED RACE PARTS SUPPLY" in NC. phone: 828 777-3851. Not sure if more are available. The cross tube joining the frames is custom made. Total cost of parts, hardened cadnium fasteners, paint, etc. just under $100. I imagine that this installation increased the lateral frame support of the car while providing the safety loop protection. Next project are the half shafts for total piece of mind.

Half- Shaft Loops - don't the wishbones sort of work like loops.

Brake and fuel line too close to the half shafts for my comfort level. Half shaft loops seem to be a good "piece of mind" upgrade.
