Default Drive Shaft Loops

What's everyone running for a drive shaft loop in the front? Any pics?

I copied dragvettes for my 67. I will modify it to fit the 80. They make a few different versions now. Mine used the two bolts up through the cross member.

I have the dragvette one.

I had to modify it a bit as the balancing tab was rubbing on the top-right of the loop. I had to notch the bolt holes on the loop quite a bit to slide it further to the passenger side.

Here is a picture without the bottom loop in before it was modified.

Nice picture. I was thinking about doing the samehthing. I have an old Lake Wood drive shaft loop kit in the box still.
Stupid question... does it matter if you install the driveshaft with the balance tab on the transmission end? I'm not sure how I installed mine.
