I was worried about those exhaust cutouts, the material seemed a bit light. But the bracing should do the trick. I have seen a much lighter one for race application, so i wouldn't worry about it too much.
Christ! Everyone is a bloody internet engineer, even the engineers! 😉
Yeah, it is tough to determine what is enough material and reinforcement to do the job from a series of napkin sketches. I could have walked into the Metal Supermarkets and bought a bunch of heavy plate and 2x3 box tube and built a straight up G-Force clone - but, that wasn't the goal. Just going through the exercise of designing and fabricating is satisfying - but, achieving most of your goals is gratifying.
Especially if it works! 😀
Im a fan of the ole "prop up against a table, and jump on it method". If it stands that, it can withstand anything. lol
We'll see how much fun I have running nitrous this year - and if it isn't all I imagine it to be... well... **** it.

Well this is the never-ending fabrication story. It flexes more than I would like... so now we compensate.
Still have to make inner braces.

Almost there... got all of the internal braces in. But, it has turned into a game of millimetres. Still have to double check cat fitment.
