Default Driveshaft Loops......

How many of you guys are runnin a DS loop??
After seeing so much damage from a busted DS on the track and Dyno...... im interested in them now...
Thought about making my own, but not exactly sure how they are set up.
Anybody got some pics of yours??

Im a EC so i have a 2 peice DS. I know i could make one for the first shaft... the second one would be sortof tricky as to account for the Suspension Travel...

Anyone care to shed some light on this???

Thanks guys!!

I want to know if NHRA requires that loops need to be made out of steel.

As for the rear loop, just attach it to the carrier bearing crossmember.

Last time I checked I believe NHRA required the the loop be made out of 1/4" x 2" STEEL stock. And was required for any vehicles running NON DOT tires (slicks), or 11.49 and quicker E.T.
