Thread: Do I need a driveshaft loop?

Tweet

Either one will contain the driveshaft. A tubular one would take up more space all around because of the size of the tubing. Personally, I'd use flat stock because it's easier to work with, and doesn't take up as much room. However, if you want it to look like the rest of the chassis, that works too.

How close would the loop be to the front of the driveshaft if you mounted it where you indicated in the drawing? If you need to move it forward, you could mount it off of the lower horizontal tubing in the X-member.

By the way, do you have residual pressure valves in your brakelines? I can't tell from the photos.

Yup, one on each side of the Master Cylinder...
On the driveshaft loop, I was planning on angling the 2 horizontal arms toward the front, to accomplish 2 things; get the loop close enough to the front U-Joint, and also make it easier to bolt and unbolt if necessary.
I can't find a good top view photo to sketch on, but maybe this shows what I wa thinking? (this is just conceptual and is not intended to be at a scale).
