Title: Shelby Mustang Drive Shaft Safety Loop
Post by: 69GT350H on August 03, 2015, 01:27:34 AM: Saw this item at Branda's. Never seen one before. Was this a factory offering, dealer or 3rd party? Or was it even available back in the day? It states 65-70 Shelby. $11.95 ea.

It can be installed on 65-70 but did not come from SA on any except 65 GT350.Jury is still out if any were used on the 66 carry over cars.

Post by: 1967 eight barrel on October 04, 2015, 12:49:52 PM: I know that my '67 didn't have one, but considering the car has a 556 HP 427 I elected to install one. They are bolted to the seat belt bolts, which means there are NO modifications to the vehicle. You'll need to purchase four 7/16 -20 jamb nuts and two 7/16 lock washers. Install two jamb nuts on the seat belt bolt threads that protrude underneath the vehicle, slide the driveshaft safety loop on the protruding threads. Place a lock washer on the threads of the seatbelt bolt, then the jamb nuts and tighten them.
The installation is just that simple.
NPD has a much better offering than the one Branda offers and they are about the same price.
