What's the wall thickness of the average propshaft? From my long ago college days a thin wall tube under torsional load is not much weaker than a solid bar of the same material and outer diameter. If I recall correctly the OD is of greater importance than the wall thickness.

That said I am a firm believer in Victorian engineering and would probably use the thickest wall I could find!
