METCO drive shaft loop

I just want to give a firm thumbs up to this piece. A little pricy, but it fit around my custom 3" driveshaft and Random Technologies Torque Arm without any problems.

For comparison, the Jegs one and the Lakewood would NOT fit.

It fit exactly as it was supposed to. All the angles were correct. The hardest part was pulling back the carpet to drill the holes in the floor.

They supply you with the nuts and bolts, but I opted to add a large diameter washer on the floor pan so if anything happened, it had a greater surface area to hold on to.

It was very simple and straight forward.

How much did it cost? Did it reduce you ground clearance any?

No reduction of ground clearance...it was around 80 bucks.

I found www.JDSPerformace.com has them for 75. I've delt with this company for many things and 99% of the time they are the cheapest.
