Thanks Terry
I will have a light channel section between rad cowl and bulkhead to secure the bonnet. With the tank fitted the front end seems quite "tight" but I probably shouldn't rely on the tank to provide too much stiffness so a bar between might help. I'm kind of relying on the stressed skin concept to take care at the back but as SWMBO wants doors (and in fact I can see the positives as we approach our seventies) I think strength and stiffness midships is an ongoing issue. I can always put another angle rail just below the bottom door line.
Your special looks awesome! A pic of the less than naked car would be nice?
Cheers
Howard
