    Either one will contain the driveshaft. A tubular one would take up more space all around because of the size of the tubing. Personally, I'd use flat stock because it's easier to work with, and doesn't take up as much room. However, if you want it to look like the rest of the chassis, that works too.

    How close would the loop be to the front of the driveshaft if you mounted it where you indicated in the drawing? If you need to move it forward, you could mount it off of the lower horizontal tubing in the X-member.

    By the way, do you have residual pressure valves in your brakelines? I can't tell from the photos.
