    Slowly getting there. How long before you're on the road?

    It's the diagonal piece , I saw it years ago , it just traingulates between the door pillar and the rail to help flex (apparently ) wasn't a big job so I thought while I'm in there il do it ! The proof will be in the drive I guess .

    That makes a lot of sense. It braces the top of the shock tower back to the solid framework that is the main cabin.

    Added to my "To Do" list.

    Yeh it's got a plate at both ends to spread the load then it's stitched to the inner guard to stop any movement , it's not much but everything counts and as I can't run a full cage in NSW I am pinching a bit of strengthening anywhere I can , like my half cage is also tied to roof rail just to reduce twist - again that a the idea anyway ! The behind dash cross member is stitch welded now instead of just spot welds , rear strut towers stitched , it's just a few little things ! Hopefully it will pay off
