best driveshaft safety loop?

DR. EVIL · Mar 17, 2002

I would like to get a safety loop tomorrow online. What do you guys think is the best way to go? I have found a couple for sale so far online...

Ramchargers safety loop - $40
BMR (www.ls1speed.com) - $64.99
Metco - $53

Any others, I want the best for the money, I don't want to spend a lot if possible, and dont want to do any fabrication...

Thanks!

Has anyone tried the one that Poston's sells? I belive it was designed by Duttewiller(sp?). It's around $38. Anybody??

Driveshaft Loop

My friend has the Duttewiller loop. It had to modify it alittle bit.
When a passenger got in the driveshaft has hitting the bottom of the loop. U have to take alittle of the bottom of the loop so it does not hit. The best is the metco...

Ignorant question here...

With the Metco loop, do you have to disconnect the driveshaft to install it?

Thanks,

Whitettype86 · Mar 17, 2002

Yep, U have to pull your driveshaft out to put in the Metco Loop.

YES YOU DO HAVE TO DISCONNECT THE DRIVESHAFT WHICH IS NOT REALLY A BIG JOB BUT I MUST AGREE THE METCO WAS A PERFECT FIT AND IT COMES POWDERCOATED RED AND INCLUDED THE HARDWARE WHICH I BELIEVE WAS GRADE 8

LOL, j/k $44 sounds pretty good to me. I have the driveshaft out of the car right now anyways awaiting my new tranny from Bruce as PT anyways! Thanks!

The Metco piece is REALLY nice!

Metco. Nice, well designed. With the red powder coat, makes you wish it could be mounted where it could be seen. my .02

Yep! METCO! I've tried some other ones and they just smacked against the driveshaft on big bumps or hard launches. METCO doesn't hit. Fits and looks great. It's pretty easy to drop the driveshaft. Don't need to pull it out of the transmission. Just drop it down enough to slip it over into place. Then put in the 4 bolts.

To all who posted about it, thanks for the install info. I've done head gaskets and axle replacement on my TR, so this shouldn't be too scary - yet I still worry I'm gonna break something (all thumbs!).

I just went to cottons site and it say the driveshaft loop is made by them(cottons). let us know if you buy cottons and if it is a metco

Jimn8or · Mar 21, 2002

Metco is what I used and the fit and finish were both perfect!
