Title: Repro Drive Shaft Loop
Post by: MWM on December 23, 2011, 12:01:31 AM

My old ride had the tar beat out on the underside of the tunnel from a previous owner mishap with the driveshaft going afoul.  I have seen a driveshaft loop in the CoBranda, Virginia Mustang catalogs and need to know if this mounts into the underside at the seatbelt hardware or do I have to drill new holes?  Since I am having to repair the pans and tunnel, I am not anxious to add new holes.  Any photos would be appreciated.  Also, has anyone made their own?
thank you!

The mounting points for the Shelby driveshaft loop are the seatbelt threaded anchor points. If it designed after the Shelby one and I can only assume that it is then it would mount at the same points. Bob
