Cam, Keep up the good work mate. I've actually seen a home-made REAR strut brace that was made of rectangular hollow section (RHS) and went over the top of the fuel tank and then down each side. It might be overkill and not worth the extra weight The rear of a 1600 is probably a whole lot stiffer than the front which has to enclose the whole engine bay as a large void. I thought it might be ideal to make one that can use the top of it as rollcage mounting points. Btw I think 4-point rollcages are legal for street use here in WA? Do any listers know if this is true?
