im looking at a 1/2 inch bolt coarse thread, length to be determined.

Sirrotica, lol, yes, my curse. i always try to make things juuuust a little bit better than before.

It drives my wife crazy whether we are planning something, making dinner together or remodeling the house.

so that is why i see that a chain bolted to the frame has worked for countless people but i just want to take it to the next level. it seems easy enough to incorporate a urethane bushing and as i mentioned earlier i feel that it will still take out the shock when the chain runs out of slack as im banging through the gears.

here id a pic of the bracket. this will be the view if looking at the back of the drivers side head from the driver seat. the chain will be welded to the 1/2 bolt with a nylon locking nut on top. the chain will be bolted to a bracket welded to the frame. with the nylon locking nut, it will make it adjustable. i also plan to weld in a shallow bucket top and bottom to keep the bushing centered.

over engineered...yes..better than a chain bolted to a motor? time will tell.

Looks good, Vic!
That's exactly what I was describing.
