Stupid me...
BTW, in my overzealous excitement, thinking the spool mount is forward facing, I started fabricating a driveshaft loop like the Mancini one. I have the pieces if anyone wants them, I'll charge only the shipping cost. I made the bracket that bolts to the cross member from angle iron, welded a loop to a steel bar, drilled a hole in the top of the loop (to bolt to the trans tunnel) and made buttresses for the angle bracket. One need only bend the bar to match whatever angle is needed to weld or bolt to the angle bracket (I was planning to trim down the angle bracket a bit once I fitted the bar, then weld the angle braces to it after that). See pics below, PM me if interested, '72 and earlier style, like the Mancini one.
