They are trying to direct you to making it a better $200 bandaid. Your idea of adding a B-pillar is right, the execution of your idea is what they are pointing out can be done in a better way.
Definitely !. Just trying to add some strength where I see a need. The R's have the same if not more weakness than the x3's although brp extended the A pillar gusset even longer. I really don't know about this " dual phase steel" stuff. I'm not up on the current steel technology. Most or all of the cage failures I've seen are on older cars.
I don’t see any sharp-ended metal battleaxes held in with a gate pin. So, yeah. :biggrin:
It’s all good, props to you for actually doing something while most of us talk about doing something.
Someone could get a grip of peeps to flip me over as I idle in camp getting my groove on jamming some kick azz mariachi tunes…Safety first comrade.
It's not a device. It's a contraption !
Well thank goodness my deek sack, ribcage of lung isn't anywhere near the end of my contraption. I know, it's hard to go against the grain sometimes.
I’m just jealous, you’ve got fab skills!
Think my fab skills are suffering from a young mind and old age. I stopped dealing with dog walking lawn poopers and dog pee'ers years ago and went concrete and gravel !. Now I just tinker in my garage with all the crap I've accumulated over the last 40 years and now being retired. I guess I could build wood bird houses but all my sheet is metal stuff !.
Is definitely more beefy than the mock up. Probably the strongest part of this sxs thing after really getting into the nitti gritti of how their made. My little contraption is the only thing made with .120 steel in this entire car. I think.
