have you ever had an Eureka moment???????

well today whilst fabricating my own propshaft i was taking the center bearing housing apart to make the whole donor prop easier to handle,
after i,d got the center bearing apart i was left with the metal housing that holds the rubber vibration bush in place, so i took the rubber out of it & this now leaves me with in my opinion the perfect safety hoop for the prop,
i placed it onto the tranny tunnel tubes & raised it up on some 25mm sq tube that i had spare & lo & behold its a perfect fit, it allows the prop to rotate freely with enough space for slight movement at the gearbox end but in the event of prop failure it,ll stop the prop from coming thru the tunnel wall or dropping thru the floor, anyone see a prob using this?

cheers
andy
