Rule for Driveshaft loop (distance from yoke) I am fabing my own DS loop (BMR Trac-Pak TA so none of the bolt ins work) and need to know if there is a minimum distance the loop needs to be from the yoke.

The rule requires that the loop is mounted within 6 inches of the front U-joint on the driveshaft for support of the driveshaft in the event of a U-joint failure. The loop must enclose the driveshaft in a full 360 degrees and must be either 1/4-inch thick and 2-inches wide or 7/8-inch x 0.065-inch welded steel tubing. -Mark
