That's all home-made by somebody who shouldn't be welding... Any fabrication shop can easily duplicate that if you can provide dimensional data.

I don't know about that loop system, but dragvette sells drive shaft loops as well as half shaft loops.

I've seen the drag vette loops. I do like their half shaft loops.

I just though that the drive shaft loop pictured had a nice round snug fit on the drive shaft which would keep it from going very far in the event of a u joint failure.
The drag vette one looked like it would still do the job just fine, but give the shaft more room to bang around should it come loose.
Thanks Lars, was hoping that it was commercially available, vs having to make one up.
