Might just do that...

But booked the garage to paint on Friday!

Besides, not got any 50mm box.

How about a flat strip from the bottom bolt hole, to the top bolt hole and then bent at 45' inwards and welded to the "flappy" sides above the top bracket?

Also, any ideas for the towing eye - 10mm round welded onto the bottom of the front chassis rail?

Cheers,

Pat...

Cheers guys (and Joel)

Towing eyes now added (exhaust clamps as per hicost) and extra flat welded on the trailing arm brackets. Should be strong enough for now.

And some rear wheel arches ;-)

There is one diagonal top to bottom at the front behind the bones.

Didn't want to add any more and don't want to open a can of worms by discussing it either !

Cheers eveyone.

My "built by committe" car will be finished soon.
