Driveshaft Clearance to e brake bracket.

Just put in my new driveshaft from Driveshaft specialist in TX. 3 inch steel with 1350 joints. Just wondering on the clearance to the ebrake cable bracket. Pic for reference

its on the side of driveshaft about 3/4 inch away. Dont think the ds has that much side to side movement but have to ask. Thanks

Shouldn't be a problem. If you get 3/4" play in the shaft there you have bigger transmission or rear end mount issues.

Kinda figured the side to side would not be an issue. Thanks for answering my question. Maybe you can answer this one. Nhra approved loop in the front, 2inch wide x 4 inch diameter withing 6 inches of u-joint. My fab guy says the front of the driveshaft in relation to the back moves very little in terms of suspension arc. I have about 3/4 inch top and bottom of shaft, plus I'm on heim joints so its pretty solid. Thank you
