In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice, there is.

Curious, u joint or trunion style, which would seem to me make a big difference in positioning a safety hoop.


Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.

You are running this on your 65 b body? Looks like the same thing listed from Mancini racing. I spoke with them and they mentioned it would not fit the same bolt pattern on the trans mount.

Did you have to alter or fab up something to mate with the factory bracket without needing to drill holes in the car?

Fit fine on my '65 Belvedere. Mounts to the trans crossmember. No modifications, drilling, etc. Even clears my 3" exhaust.

Same piece, I believe John supplies them. I have one in my Duster.
