Need some driveshaft loop tech / pics - Pirate4x4.Com : 4x4 and Off-Road Forum

Did some googleing and found what I would call substandard p.o.s.'

I have a 14 bolt and 60. I figured the 14 bolt make a plate that fits over the pinion with some type of pipe or loop that bolts down, but what about the 60 in the front.

So lets see some pics or ideas to help myself along the way.

I've seen nuts welded to the housing near the pinion with tabs coming off the loops with bolts going into the nuts. You get what I'm saying? I've seen these on pull trucks and bog trucks.

i don't have any pictures of mine at the diff, but i just ran it off of the diff cover bolts and bent some small square tube to follow the diff nice and tight to a piece of 1/4 pipe that is just on the other side of the u-joint, pretty easy to do, and its saved me a few times.
