I had some strut braces and plates fabricated that I hope will make the car a little tighter.
Used chrome-moly and made them removable as car is not street legal with permanent bars in those sections. The pic of the bar underneath the front suspension ties the control arms togrther and also protects the front mounts from being damaged by offs at the track. I also re-inforced the lower windshield posts with plates and tubes and will post pics later. In the meantime.. what do you think? Bear in mind car is for road use mostly with occasional track days.

To my way of thinking it's necessary to tie in the front towers to the rear......if you want stiff.
At risk of driving the old timers here to distraction....again....here's some pics. There are better ways of doing this.....lighter & stiffer, but the cage just sorta morfed into its present state.....but the general idea is there. In a street application it's kinda iffy.....don't ever use the roof & you'd be OK. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) The last pic addresses the long to tower tie in. There is some fab beneath the plate. Attached thumbnail(s) |
