I only see them used in drag racing to keep the car from doing a pole vault if the front U-joint dies. I'll bet Jegs has 'em.

For a front drive shaft loop a flat piece of aluminum or steel bolted through the floor will keep the driveshaft from falling on the road. We already have a rear on. I made half shaft loops but they were alot more work.
The aluminum flat stock above the cross over is to catch the drive shaft.
