I think the design and materials are OK but would put more thought into the positioning. Props do go at the joints and yours would be restrained in that case. The prop tube can also fail, more toward the centre and if your prop fails six inches in front of the rear UJ you would have a lot of prop thrashing about. I would move both a little more toward the centre of the prop or am I being a bit anal?

If I was running a massive torquey v8 or turbo I would agree, but chances of the acctual prop shaft failing from 150ft/lbs is slim.
