Probably doesn't deserve its own thread, but am pretty proud of my work on this one. Took me about 5 hours to design/make/install and is more than adequate should my bar break on the end. This is VERY rare, but would be a VERY bad deal if it did break and lacked this support.

I made it with "pivots" to allow removal of it in the event I need to pull the driveshaft or the TA itself. Good thing too, as I was in San Francisco today and there was a tall road hump piece of crap and hit it. I was C-R-A-W-L-I-N-G over it and bent it back, but didn't break
What you cannot see is a piece of the same metal (1.25"x1/8" about 14" long and shapped like an upside down "U") wrapped over the passage and under the carpet in the cabin. This is probably overkill, but the sheet metal is VERY thin here and didn't want to risk the bolts ripping through it in the event the bar broke under heaving braking). I used grade-8 bolts at all four points and can just slightly feel the support under the carpet.
Anyway... for those besides myself who give a crap, here it is
