OK how does this work, can I crawl underneath and install it in an hour or less ?
If so I'm in, if it works with a TKO tranny

A little extra safety goes along way, look's good.

Can you get a dichromite powder coat for NCRS?

But thanks for starting a new one, I was afraid of whoring up theplace with for sale ads...

It installs without dropping the driveshaft and bolts into the crossmember. You should be able to do it pretty quick.

Just jack up the car,
slip the loop over the driveshaft
Bolt the bracket to the crossmember.
Bolt the loop the the bracket.

There are two versions, one that fits Automatics and 4 speeds. with the U-Joint less than 5 inches from the back of the crossmember.

And one that is two inches longer.
I can also make custom lengths.

They are all $90, free shipping untill the end of April.

Here's the link to the store;

Is there any interference with the parking brake cable? On your photo, the pulley is there but no cable. Thanks.

No I believe there is plenty of clearance between the cable and the loop.
I ran a string and it looks good.

I should mention that my return / refund policy is very liberal.
If you don't like anything for any reason, full refund.
If you are really Pissed off I'll even pay return shipping.

I will ask questions though, so it doesn't happen again. I may make mistakes but I intend to learn from them.
