Introducing the Blaine Fabrication driveshaft loop for 4th gen Fbody cars.

Features:

-No chance of girdling a large diameter driveshaft

-R&R without pulling driveshaft.

-Lighter than drag oriented pieces.

-Protects fuel/brake lines from broken DS/TA.

-Fits existing Gload brace mounting points.

-Black powdercoated finish

The prototype has been in service for 6mo now without issue - production units will have about 1/2" more vertical clearance to TA, and will be powder coated gloss black. Metric gr10.9 and SAE gr8 fasteners supplied.

Price is $95 plus shipping and any applicable CA sales tax.

To order, PM me or email me at ablaine (at) cruzio (dot) com or call me at the shop 831 427-3296 with shipping address and I'll calculate shipping charges. PayPal accepted.

Thanks and regards,

How does the Alum DS loop bolt to the car, or TA? I have an aftermarket TA, but it's a tranny mount, so I assume that the Alum. one will not work?

The Aluminum DSL is bolted thru the tunnel, on each side with 3/8" alloy hardware. There are backing plates included that are placed right next to the cross pan interior brace - you can just make out the pass side backing plate in this pic - right under the shifter:

There is another backing plate on the drivers side. They overlap the flange of the interior pan brace. The Aluminum DSL will interfere with a OEM style TA that mounts to the trans. It was designed specifically for the lightest weight solution using a UE TA. It may work with other short TA's.

Cool, I have been reading up on those UE TAs, and I may upgrade to one in the future. Trying to figure out if I should get a Watts Link or UE TA. Just haven't decided which one to go with yet.

It's winter, so I guess I have time to decide. Not sure I want to cut my car up too much, since it's still mostly a weekend car, then a RR car. So, I might have to lean towards the other DS loop. Thanks for the info.

Here are a couple more pics of the Aluminum DSL for use with the UE decoupled TA and RTA:
