Hello mate I would like to know how your toyota prop is working out for you. I have unparallel prop angles and hoped this mod would help. I am thinking front and back with a notch cut out the chassis at the front.

Well i dont really use it that often but i have no vibration coming from it and it made a massive improvement to the way it drives, well worth doing

Cheers gaz

Sorry but I thought I did have some drawings but I can't for life of me think where I have put them perhaps I have thrown them out but more than likely I have them in a safe place so safe I can't find them myself but il keep looking. To be honest though the brackets are pretty self explanatory if you put a spring in place and make a template.
