I cant see your link at work but are you looking for the plastic covers to keep caps in place when you remove a driveshaft?

Same idea. The one pictured in that thread looks like it was made by FM Fab....but it doesn't look like they exist anymore.

Those are pretty cool.

 

[Lilyota]

Flanges take care of needing those

Something like these might work: https://www.amazon.com/Hammers-Molded-Rubber-Bikini-Reflex/dp/B00XTGW8G6?tag=91812054244-20

Obviously not ideal, but may be decent enough if you can find the right one

Hose clamp is my go to. Then you also have an extra hose clamp on the trail.

See my link above, but they look really simple to build.

He definitely wins the over the top award but I can't deny it is functional. My electrical tape version of that is looking woefully inadequate now. lol

As said previously, tape.
Blue, black, silver...

Or saran wrap.
That's how it's always come from a driveshaft shop...

What about a small c clamp?

Things I never knew I needed in here, I'd probably try what gun guys call "ranger bands" small sections of bike/ motorcycle tubes cut into heavy duty rubber bands

this is honestly the best idea given the options these days. But for that matter duck tape isnt a bad choice.
