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.

Mine has a welded in hoop and a bolt in front section which picks up the screen pillars. It is so much stiffer with the front section in I just left it in there. That was about 8 years ago and I have only been pulled up once by some over zealous highway patrol fuckwit who wanted to know why it didn't have the original seat belts in it. Maybe it was because it was built before the ADR's (Australian Design Rules) commenced. That was kind of lost on the FW.
If I own it much longer I think I will put it on historic plates and avoid the angst. Nobody seems to ask any questions with those plates. If you want it stiff you have to put a cage in. Everything else is pretty much a waste of time. H |
