Quote: Over the last 40 plus years of racing I have yet to break a front u joint, twisted off drive shafts,never broke a tail shaft , spread rear yokes, blew out lots of rear joints. That $20 dollar universal loop is all you need. NHRA says it must be mounted within 6" of the joint. Keep it centered at 6" from the Joint and the bolts won't catch and tear your stuff.
I was gonna let this drop BUT I cant and Steve I'm suprized you would say its good enough.... if the front breaks(I've seen a few) and that thing bends down, it will bend enough to allow the shaft to exit the loop.... I guess none of you guys ever seen a car pole vault... all he has to do is bolt the loop to the floor on that design... that'll make it 100% better
