A couple of extra tubes before the UJ's should be fine, the idea is to contain the prop after the UJ has sheared to stop it flailing about and
coming through the tunnel sides.
Some thick sheets of steel would also work.

I'm with Richard. That has to be the best way to do it I've seen so far. Simple and effective and removable easily!

Hi
Whilst I fully agree with the installation of 'prop catchers' and the one referenced by Richard is a fine example, I would urge anyone
who has fitted / intendes to fit one to check the prop shaft after some spirited driving. Flex in the chassis may allow the prop to contact the
catcher and wear the shaft at this point. If this goes un noticed it could lead to failure of the shaft in a manner which may not be contained.
Regards Mick
