Unfortunately, the 25$ jegs universal didn’t fit, so i had to go with a metco model specific unit for 100$. Nothing much to report other than I had to take of the exhaust AGAIN. And I need to go buy some bigger washers since these just aren’t cutting it.
For those unfamiliar, I had a rear u joint “incident” where the driveshaft tried to enter the passenger compartment via the floor pan. Unfortunately, despite my best intentions the forward loop only really addresses the front seats. I am still apprehensive about having passengers back there.
I am left needing to return this Jegs unit, and I had a thought: why not use part of it to reinforce my floor pan right in the problem area?
Would fit right in the tunnel. Need to widen the ends apart. But before I go ruining the return value: this is some kind of hardened steel. Can’t even bend it slightly by hand. Should I bother putting it in a vise and cranking on it? Will I just scratch the shit out of it? Will it even bend or would it snap?
Thanks guys!
