Driveshaft Loop Needed?

Hugger, the different thickness mounts, is one of them Energy Suspension? They have a mount that has an extra plate I assume to duplicate the standard thickness of a mount. My plan is to insert a plate between tranni and rear mount, not use the extra plate with the energy suspension mount, extend my plate rearward just past u joint, attach my 4 3/4 Id ring. I’ll post some pics as I get into it. Any info on the different thickness turbo 400 rear mounts much appreciated.

 

Brett, is the material on the loop 1/4 inch thick? Thanks

 

So your making something Canadian? For the front or rear?

 

For the front

 

Thanks Brett

 

Take some dimensions of that for the public use. If dude ain't making them anymore that's his fault. Help us all out. Otherwise I'll draft one up and post public dimensions of what I come up. And I'm only making one. No need to profit

 

Well it looks like you have one right in front of you? Help out the community who desperately(sounds like) needs this information.

 

I mean once I draft it, I'll have cnc files for anyone.

 

Oh, well thanks for sharing them. I was able to get better angles of what was made.

 

Made some headway on my safety loop. I have a 3.5 inch aluminum driveshaft, so I started with a pce of 2 inch by 5 inch id 1/4 thick wall steel pipe. Plan is to sandwich a plate between the mount area on the extension housing of the turbo 400, the energy Suspension tranni mount which is approx 3/16 shorter than a standard mount. This keeps tranni in same driveline angle. Hoop is being tack welded to plate on Monday, ill do final fitment on Tuesday. There will be 2 brace from center of hoop back to studs on the extension housing. Ill include these once positioned and welded to hoop. Finally will be painted Buick red for decent visibility for the tech guys at the track.

 

Made some tweaks. Its now ready to be welded up and then painted.

 

Nice! Make a few and sell them!

 

Lol! What I will do is post the dimensions, and then members can make their own.

 

I have no idea what you are talking about, Can you show a picture or a diagram? What is alumite?

 

Hey Ken - back on page two, it's explained.. it's basically the grease zerk fitting, and it does bring up a good question.. I dont recall seeing any kind of defined rotation specific installation markings on U-Joints with fittings?
