Might as well buy it since it ain't legal in NHRA races unless it has a SFI number on it.

if you never plan to run on any sanctioned track then it won't matter. You can get a ref to inspect and sign off on it. They'll affix a sticker and you'll be good to go.

they're not hard to make but make sure you use heavy duty enough metal. 16ga sheet metal is not enough.

I have used some thick and wide flat stock to make my own for many race cars. It is not hard to do. I have the main half of a store bought drive shaft loop if you want to buy it and finish it. I just needed the upper half of it. Here is what it looks like:

$20 shipped.
