Thanks guys,

I'm thinking about later on tying the main dash hoop to the door lock post. I'll run a 100x50mm RHS section running along under the door. This would be welded to the door lock post and the dash hoop and then glassed into the body along with the dash hoop. It looks like Mando has bonded his dash hoop in and I reckon this is a good idea.

Linking the dash hoop and the lock pillar together will increase the side impact protection and stiffen the chassis. The RHS section will also be a good base to build a full door sill on with just a bit of foam and glass for shape.

Cheers.
