Per Mark BEX ....
Designed new strut front suspension mounts, that are being laser cut about now.
Everything is similar to the previous foundation, just improving where I can.
Looks like this, and goes here ...

Oh I didn't mention that this strut top will be bolted on.
On the 2D file picture above, you can see 2 x long rectangular shapes with 3 holes (and 2 small square slots).
2 reasons:
I can assemble and weld them on the bench, then simply transfer them to the frame and bolt them on.
In the case of an accident, just unbolt them, repair the frame as required and bolt them back on, or bolt new ones on. Also if I can't supply them, a local engineering shop can whip them up easily, saving time and cost for repairs.
Here is a picture of what they look like assembled ..

Per Mak BEX :
See, doesn't take long to get the fundamentals back on track..
Revamped front frame basically done, crossmember and suspension back on, etc.

outstanding .... its easy to see how nicely your foot well box fits .... no doubt it will certainly solidify the frame .... will you have to remove the sides to install the roll cage ..?

Sides fall off in under 5 minutes, so on or off isn't a big deal at the moment.

Per Mark BEX :
Door hinge mounts lasered, and fitted. Upper is symmetrical and simply flipped over left or right.
Lower one uses the same parts, but must be assembled for left and right.
