Homemade Tailshaft Loop

[cjh]

I have started on making the tailshaft loop for the same car with the homemade engine mounts......gotta have a loop to go drag racing here.
The loop is 6" pipe with a 5mm wall.
50 x 25 x 3mm RHS, some 75 x 6mm flat bar, and some 65 x 6mm angle.....held in with 4, grade 8, 1/2" bolts.
It isn't quite finished yet.

Thats a larger, later model tunnel, and g/box crossmember in it too.....I did that about 15 years ago, as with the subframe connectors, which I also made.
The g/box shell sitting in there atm, is an aussie BW 4sp Singlerail.
The actual one going in it is an E49 Charger spec one, capable of handling 400hp.....with a 1st gear ratio of 2.82:1.....will go nice with 4.11 diff gears.
