dont know about the exact specs.......but the KE I have has one, put in by previous owner.

just a piece of flat bar about 20mm in width from memory that has been bent in to a loop then bolted through the floor & both ends of the flat bar.

Dont have a pic of it sorry.....but should give you an idea

wasnt that far behind the universal joint fom memory, rough guess off the top of my head would put it somewhere below the handbrake, give or take a bit.

Use 50 X 6mm Steel, and can be anywhere up to 150mm from behind the rear of the universal.

I bnet mine up in two pieces and then welded it super strong, it bolts through the floor just in front of my front seats.

Those are the rules as according to Mark Stokes.

just had my engine out yesterday and car over the pit so could've got some pics of mine for you. it has to be bolted to the floor with two bolts each side (so 4 all up) too.

mine was done in two separate pieces that sit together when its all bolted up, easier to take apart that way.
i'll see if i can get some pics of mine for you still though...

Sorry about the excessive $&#$% around bro!

Thats just 50 X 6mm Mild steel, just quickly bent it up in the vice then zapped it together. Fits really snug, about as big as you could fit in the tunnel and a Hilux diameter driveshaft just fits within it.
