MONTE CARLO Drive Shaft Loop

[abbey castro]

I installed the UMI drive shaft loop a few days ago. Just looks nice, not going down the strip and I haven't been to any show that anyone has looked at my undercarriage! It came with what I call home depot/lowes bolts! I think they were too short to fully engage and have enough threads protruding out the back. I used the factory ones which are longer and have a wide contact surface on the head of the bolt vs using the flat washer.

I prefer to use the factory bolts verses the by the lb ones at hardware stores. Unless you prefer chrome or specialty head fasteners. To each his own!

While I was under there, inspected the "U" joints and greased them.

Looks nice. Totally agree with you on the hardware. Nice attention to detail.

Dang, I'd sent you a brand new UMI loop for hardly anything! I have one, but the loop is too small for the 80E/3" driveshaft combo. I need to address that, butttt I'll get around to it.

I've had the loop for over two years, just was to lazy to put the car on stands and do it. I just got myself a set of Quick Jacks! I don't know why I waited so long!

Looks clean to me. If the bolts are engaging properly and everything else is in order, I say run it. I'm envious. I can't wait till the under-carriage of my car looks that clean (which may be a couple of years). Good luck with the project.
