I went to the local speed shop the other day to get a drive shaft loop. My plan was to purchase a universal kit that had the nicely rounded pieces of steel and then modify it to fit my car. I had in my head that this thing would run about $25.00 (I’ve seen them online for that), so when I found out that the one they had was $50.00 I decided to go to plan B. I purchased a 5’ length of 2”x ¼” flat steel (about $7.00) and found enough bolts and nuts in my garage (maybe another $3.00) to build one. I made a wooden form to bend the steel around, clamped everything in the vice and without heat bent both ends of the steel into nice ½ circles. Some careful measuring and some cutting, welding, grinding, and drilling and here is the result.
