Many Cobras and T buckets have been built using only the diff mount and front
fulcrum rod attach points with a tie bar in the rear. The shocks give some rigidity but the overall suspension is sketchy in my opinion.

When I disassembled my car I noticed that the side brackets had loosened up a bit. These were not Loctited or safety wired when previously installed.

When C.W.I made the plates they had to fit multiple set ups so some flexibility was needed. This is still better than not utilizing a plate. The 1/8 stainless plate
is more than strong enough to jack against. Buzz, 1/4 stainless is overkill and heavy.

I installed a crossmember slightly above and just to the rear of the diff that I will hang another plate vertically in "tension". The fulcrum rods will pass through this plate. This will eliminate the tie bar, also, "bolting" will allow some set up changes. This plate will bolt to the lower plate that I jack against. I will have the LCA pivoting off the fulcrums that are securely mounted on both ends.

I'm toying with the design of these plates. I'm thinking I may want to incorporate a brake ducting system utilizing this plating. All of this is adding more weight, but this is not a race car.
