Competition Drive shaft Loops Fianlly : )

[BigBadDodge]

Why not follow a good thing, so I kind of used the CSutton method Chris's are probably more road worthy as the bar that exstends and the loops are hanging on is round vise mine being square.



All I know is they meet the DHRA rule requirments 6" loops and I chose the 1/4" steel over the 3/8" aluminum.

6" sch 40 or 80 pipe works quite well. nice job on the u joint shields

 

[BWillard]

How is the u-joint shield attached to the rearend housing? I see the bolts, but do you have nuts welded to the snout of the housing or do they just tighten down and center it on there? BTW they look awesome!

Preston: I hardly had time to make these, heck I bought the pipe almost two years ago sorry, I wish, mybe I should retire



Gary: there aint room to be had unless I massage the down pipe which is prolly going to happen. I did move the small wastegate flex pipe outward though but did't help much.



Wade: 6"ID by 1/4" wall steel, heck if you were close enough I could give you close to 3' of it as I bought to much.



BWillard: The u-joint shield on the rear housing is the only piece I can't take credit for. I bought it through EE two years ago. It has 4 big set screws that tighten up on the housing and works great.



Thanks guy's,



Now to pick a color

Thanks, I'll find some around here. Now I know what to look for. Thanks to NICK too--heck, he's probably got some and only 3 hours away.



Black, save perty colors for moving parts.

 

[BigBadDodge]

Nick, I am using two pumps, one for the bags, air horns, and filling tires etc... it a firestone pump I bought through a catologe when I bought the bags. Can't remeber what model but if your intrested I can dig up the cataloge. I am using a two gallon tank as well with that unit. The pump you can see in the picture of the drivshaft loops, is actully the ARB Pump, used just for the front and rear lockers.
