Where the door bar meets would be plenty strong enough I imagine. In fact 2 cage bars vs a cage bar and nova floor, it's probably stiffer at the door bar lol

Fair enough, this is how I'm going to do mine:
This bar welded in first, on the turret i will weld a 3mm thick plate.

I will not be welding it alongside the turret, as I can see no benfeit in that. I know the Grp A cars were done like that, and whoever wrote/desgined it knows more than me, but no-one can explain why alongside and not at the back?
Second horzontal bar:

This will be joined as close to the turret as possible.
purhaps it goes along the side as it would get in the way of the hinge if it goes to the back. but im sure your bonnet is on pins isnt it anyway???
Yeh mine is, so mine will be ok to go there, maybe thats the reason i never though tof that lolQuote:

yeh thats exactly what i thought :)
Surely if the turret is going to flex, the part next to it is going to flex too. So bolting+welding it next to the turret is ok as long as the diagonal bar keeps it from moving about.
