Jeroen has a good idea. Something I rarely see is support running BOTH directions. He addresses this.

JP,

IF, I build another car for myself.. I will do exactly like you spoke: peel the top cover off the ear and weld in a scab plates.. then weld the "cover" back on. I do not like any of the tubes leading into the front of the ear. Most people use small tubing and all it does is crack at the point where they welded to the ear.

Great discussion and good insight.

Whadda ya mean "IF"?, damnit.

I'm depending on you building something that you can put all your ideas into practice, then I can blow you off at AX (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif)

Seroiusly, I would like to see something before I'm too old & f-ed up to get into my car.....5 years max, God willing.
After that, it'll be up to #1 son. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sad.gif)

The black one don't look too bad, but I'd have to get a better look at the other sides. Nice stout plate, tho. Can't really tell what it ties into at the topo
The gray one.....I've seen the ear break off just below where that tube ties in.

I've seen some really nice looking (Strong, not pretty) done when guys raise the swing arm mounts.....got a pic here somewhere.....I think.

I'm gonna have to do something in this area. My new (IMPROVED!!) tiars are gonna raise hell with my chassis, me thinks.

(edit)
Humm....I really should take a close look at a pic before I post it

Well that ought to stiff enought!
Added 20 lbs to the car too.

Hey Jeroen
The front and rear bar is a good idea. But you would want to cope the tubing into the ear so that it dosen't stick out pass the inside face more than the thickness of the material 1/8".
I also would still plate it like we do before adding the tubing.
Then you would have something workable.
