Chassis reinforcement

I bought the kit myself. I have heard its what Gary used on Purple Passion to give the chassis enough strength to handle the targa conversion (the windshield too of course). It is certainly not an easy install. The rocker panels must come off to install the two side beams which is probably the only part of the install which requires major cosmetic work. Some of the other bars weld in on/in various internal panels. Bending/fitting is also required on some parts. It is not a plug-and-play unit. This is certainly not a kit to install for the weak of stomach. The end result is a very stiff car. With the addition of some bars running to the inner rear fenders with some backing plates you can really box in the whole rear. To sum it all up: Pros-excellent center shassis stiffness Cons-Difficult install. Good luck with your project. Hope I have shed a little light.

Hi all.
Having just built a 'RollCage-Chassis,Stiffner' and other odds & ends to assit with the bodyshell-flex, ( I will post pics shortly.)Its a kind of adabtation of what Hall has nicely done and advise from the "Mad Swede" GORAN's article on Body Stress & all the interesting research / testing he has done,..fabulous... a must read....

His fine article on Severe Weight Loss, in the very excellent last issue of P.I.'s Mag. for the GT 4 replicas out there, which we are also following,
( imagine 21 kg's, just nixing the dreadful looking and always flapping around shorting out pop up lites..they did this on three of my cars in the past...)

We have fitted round Metal Halagon, HID (?) projector beams, rather than the square ones under the acrilic plexi-lite covers. Super.....tasty & light.
A very informative articale in a back issue of P.I.'s in which GORAN devoted his considerable experience / fine info. re. all this Chassis - Stiffing stuff.
Naturally, as pointed out by various members / and George Pence recently, it all depends what your own requirements are ....what are u expecting from the car...how much time u will spend on the track putting the car thru it paces?? And remember ; there is always a trade - off. Consider ur decision well.
Good luck..
