Mercury Marauder, Crown Victoria
Fits All 1998-2011 Panther-Chassis Applications, Including Marauder, Crown Vic, Town Car & Grand Marquis
Metco's one-piece driveshaft safety loop is custom-designed to fit the 2003-2004 Mercury Marauder and 1998-2011 Ford Crown Victoria. This loop installs with no modifications to the vehicle by taking advantage of the front seat mounting holes, which protrude through the floor beneath the car. Appropriate high-grade fasteners are provided, and seat mounting remains secure and unchanged. The CNC-bent flanges of this loop are specifically designed to utilize the contour of the Panther floor pan, requiring only the two pre-existing mounting points to provide extraordinary stability and strength of the loop. No drilling is required, and no modifications are necessary.
Like all Metco loops, the ring is made from seamless DOM steel in an oversize dimension (6.5" OD) to accommodate lowered vehicles and aftermarket driveshafts. The loop flanges are laser-cut and CNC-bent from heavy-duty 1/4" steel and the assembly is precision-welded in a fixture. The finished loop is powdercoated black and packaged with installation instructions and high-grade hardware.
From Paul in Atlanta, GA: "Just wanted to let you know I installed the driveshaft loop that I purchased for my Mercury Marauder today.
I brought the car in to have the driveshaft balanced and while they had the driveshaft out I was able to install it myself in about 10 minutes! It is well made and a clever design, using the mounting holes for the front seat frames, The loop just bolts right in without any drilling, cutting or welding! All I needed was a 13mm deep socket to do it. I'm very happy with the purchase."
