yes, make the mounting plate to go straight across between TT2 & TT3,
A safety loop can be made from 25mm box tube, basically its just a square cage that will help prevent the prop coming into the cockpit or dropping down onto the road if it decides to break away from the gearbox output shaft or from its bearing carrier.
Just weld a square frame around the prop across from the 2 TT1 tubes just rearward of the TT4 uprights, but make the square big enough that the prop has enough space to rotate ( allow a 2 inch gap around the prop, also big enough to allow you to remove the prop if need be), this is just a safety precaution to save your legs in the event of a prop failure, its not an IVA requirement but will be looked upon as a good safety measure by the IVA inspector I,m sure.
