I intend to weld in a bar between the two rear arches, on the inside of the cabin, more as a harness bar than anything else. I was going to drill a hole in each arch for the tube to pass a little through for better support On 26th Oct, 2004 TurboDave16v said:

so is it a good idea to brace this if the boot floor is changed or will it not make much difference?

Thats why I'm intending to weld the bar between the two turrets, to keep it all rigid.

I was planning to brace it that much, go for what is basically a spaceframe with a non-removable body In boost we trust |

To complete the effect tie the brace bar into the floor/strong structure or you'll just make a big parralelogram (sorry about spelling) which will flex about rather than stiffening the arch structure up.
If Carling made Mini engines
