Drive Shaft Loop

[redline]

I am trying to put a driveshaft loop on my car, the bolts they sent with it has large washers with it, do you just bolt it thru floorboard ? There is no frame or something sudstantual around this area within 6'' of u-joint ?

The big washers are for strength when bolted through the floor boards. All you need to do is bolt it in close to the u-joint. I have put in a few and there really isn't much to it.

why dont you just make your own ??? not that hard.

Both are nice options, rather than putting holes in the floor pan. I used Unlawful frame ties with a drive line loop kit super nice.

I've been planning to use that one actually

What I do is trim the long legs from the loop. I take the trimmed parts and use those above the floor. Now that the 90* legs are cut off the loop it is welded to the side braces for a cleaner install. Tack weld bolts into the cut off pieces. Then drop them through the drilled holes in the floor. That way you can unbolt the loop w/o removing the carpet to hold the bolts with a wrench. You can see the plates on the floor in the second picture. On mine one additional bolt that holds each side of the loop also mounts the seat (not yet installed).
