Re: 6 Point Chassis Brace (MattyP)
Thanks for the link.
The strongest structural component is a triangle. If you look at tubular construction racecars, everything is a collection of triangles.
This design looks really interesting. IMHO, I would think that it would be better if the connector points were in the center of the horizontal cross bars.
I also can't see where the bars that go to the rear connect in. I would think that the best point would be where the rear front to back chassis rails have a bolt. Throw in a side to side bar in place at the same pick-up point and you should have one solid chassis. Ever hear the term "Birdcage Maserati"?

The price is not bad either, I have seen this set-up in person and it seems to be built pretty well from what i've seen...

The rear bars look like they're going back to the rear bumper support bolts.
