stresses in the longs or any beam type contruct are not carried in the center of the vertical plane. Have a look at how a castellated (or cellular) beam is made for reference.

There are areas in the car that are higher stressed than others but I'm not the one who will tell you exactly where those are. I have an idea but i'll leave that to the people who have more experience repairing these chassis. |
