Agree it’s better than nothing, but still don’t think it’s a suitable replacement for the cross member.
Just my opinions and I have no evidence to suggest anything I just said is worth a crap.  |
You’re probably right. I’m no automotive structural engineer. If it was a house i can tell you yes or no. Copo is a straight line car. Would like to see how it moves while in the turns. I do have the bracket just trying to get the easy way out without welding.
