UPR DS safty loop users

I was looking at and mocking up my UPR DS safty loop and noticed that it does not fit side to side even. Like one with one side with the holes is flush and the other is way to far over. I would have to drill new holes in the loop on an area that is lower (the area that has the bolt holes to mount to the body is raised alittle) but flush.

If I turn it 180* (pass side now on the drivers side) the same thing. It is not upside down as I have the removable loop part on and it really only goes one way.

I dont have an issue with drilling another set of holes in the loop but I just wanted to make sure I am not missing something.

Thanks,

Hmmm. This is odd.

yes I am mounting it within spec. per NHRA safty from the front u-joint.

The bottom part that mounts to the floor is a the same from side to side. I marked a centerline to even double check.

I dont have a digi cam but here is a UPR link to it (mine looks exactly like this)

The end with the holes in the lower right end of the picture were it "steps" down does not touch. The area that is right before the step bend is flush. If I rotate the loop base (pass side now drivers side, not upside down) 180* it is the same. If I get the side that is not flush to be flush I get the same problem on the other side.

I have moved it all around the floor and realy can find only one place that is within nhra spec, does not come into cantact with seat bolts/support, or sits un-level due to diff. in floor bumps/ridges. But it will just not sit flush/fit as the space (basicly right above the front U-joint is were it fits best) does not seem to be equal on both sides.

Looking at the pic...the loop part is offcenter and the base does not have holes? Mine came with holes in the dead center of the base plate for the loop part already.

That is quite a bit further back then I was mocking mine up at. I will look at it again that far back and see how it lines up/fits.

With the distance thing at max of 6in is that from centerline of Ujoint to center of loop, is it jus to the edge of the loop, or something else?

I had heard its not that big of a deal as long as the DS will not fall out if undone from the front ujoint.
