what is the spec on driveshaft loops?

i know it has to be within a certain distance of the tailshaft of the transmission, but i need the exact # cuz i am going through hell trying to get this biotch mounted with a Bassani X-Pipe!

anyone have the lakewood d/s loop and a bassani x on an sn-95? could you take a pic of the mounting location?

thanks for any info!

The front edge of the driveshaft loop must be within 6" maximum from the front u-joint. Less would be OK, I assume.
