Aahh gotcha now Daveman..........still don't remember it
...... wonder if Hezzel noticed any improvement?
Or if he had any other braces added?
My original plan with the Baccaruda was to weld stiffening plates to the highest part of the bulkhead and run tubes from there across the tops of the shock towers and dropping down to the chassis rail, connected at the shock towers with a fabricated steel top hat and a bolted on brace joining the towers together.
I'd like to be able to run the bracing from the bulkhead to the chassis rails from the outer side of the inner fender, if only because the little A body has an already tight engine bay.
It would take a fair bit of fab to get the bends and pipe notching right but we have all that at work.
This would tie the shock towers together directly and brace the chassis rail to the unibody at the bulkhead.
I still can't see the benefit of fitting a lower rad brace to stiffen the two frame rails, surely the K member is doing that? It is it just for the benefit of the strut rods?
