RE: Curious Metal Loop

[Richard Brake <richard.brake@domain.elided>]

I've always been under the impression this were used for shipping the
vehicles overseas. Some of the other Triumphs have comparable features;

1)	2000/2.5 Saloons 
2)	Spitfire/GT6 rear-floor Loops & Anti-Rollbar clamps with
eyelets.

Another interesting feature is the large holes in Stag floors and boot
floor, Dolomites have these as I believe do TR7's. These I was told was
for shipping the body's around the work shops not just for drainage.

	Hi Glenn,

	I have  loops on both of my Stags...I always assumed that they
were drive
	shaft safety loops...you know, so that when the drive shaft
u-joints let
	go...you don't cartwheel into oblivion.  

	OR! is that not what you are talking about?

	I've seen it happen...wasn't pretty.

	Take Care
