Driveshaft loop - dimensions

I received some drawings on the loops.

The following expressed interest, but not confirmed:

Still waiting to hear from the following off the original list:

I'm thinking we'll start shipping the loops across the atlantic end of next week, so let me know if you want one.

Hi Marcus,
Please help me understand the interference that you mentioned with the 4 Sp shifter bracket. It looks like the Loop Bracket mounts below the crossmember so I don't see where the interference would be.
BTW, I'm lovin the two speed fan relay you designed for me.

Thanks.

Zwede,
I have checked this out and I do have the bracket shown in your pic. Also my X crossover exhaust is in the way.
So I must withdraw from the GP.

Well, I guess I could cut the mounting bracket on the loop and it would work. I'm still undecided. I'll let you know.

If you do want one, the fabricator offered to do the mods necessary. He has a friend with a 4-speed, stock shifter car. He said he can make a slot in the bracket and elongate the bottom holes + make a spacer and it should all bolt up.

Let me know if you want this (no extra cost).
