two_days_late Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Hey guys, Does anyone know if the 250mm from the center of the UJ pivot to the driveshaft loop requirement is based of the front, bac, or center of the loop? i.e. does the 250mm requirement include the 50mm width of the loop itself?

Nominal Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 The drawing shows the measurement is to the front of the loop. https://www.lvvta.org.nz/documents/infosheets/LVVTA_Info_07-2016_Drive-shaft_Safety-loop_Requirements.pdf 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoKer Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 as a Layman I would say yep : any part of the loop needs to be within 250mm from the centre of the UJ, so yea the closest edge |-----------------| Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
two_days_late Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Cool that's where I landed as well, though in the drawing it looks like it could be taken as the back or front of the loop... Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cletus Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 And it doesn't have to be exactly 250 from the UJ, just within that area 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
two_days_late Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Cool as, it's about 210mm from the centre of the UJ to the front of the loop based on where I would like to mount it. The Escort floorpan has a corrogated section that wouldn't be great for mounting, but a nice flat section that is the perfect width a little further back. Sounds like this will be fine. Cheers, Matt 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
