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?

Cheers
Matt

The drawing shows the measurement is to the front of the loop.

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 |-----------------|

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...

And it doesn't have to be exactly 250 from the UJ,  just within that area

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

There's no driveshaft loop rules for motorsport Dave... Probably should be though.
