Looking good! See you're doing power brakes... very cool. I'd consider building some safety hoops around the driveline so should it ever break loose, the drive shaft wouldn't take out your brakes... just food for thought
:think:

Hey Duke,

Here ya go, thomas. It's used to keep the shaft from flying around if it ever came loose. If I'm not mistaken, they are required by NHRA.

My driveshaft is so short that I don't have room for a hoop.

My driveshaft is so short that I don't have room for a hoop.

Me too..i'm pretty sure my forearm is longer than my shaft(no pun intended)

Thanks Fred!

There is probably a more proper name for this but that's it... a u-joint breaking and a driveshaft can inflict a lot of damage... all this does is contain the driveshaft and minimizes damage to vehicle and components.

thats a bolt in draveshaft safety loop. Lakewood, Moroso and various other companies make them. I dont think Id drive a 'glass car without something to keep the driveshaft from coming uncorked. it bolts across both framerails and the shaft passes through it. So, you should have the room regardless.

Some of you may have seen a T Bucket accident picture from last year or the year before that involved something locking up and the 'Bucket pitching its driver. My friend has a pic of a glas 32 that got hit by a shopping cart from across a shopping center parkinglot. It was a mess.
As light as these cars are, every little bit helps

I will be installing a loop on my car.
