Great work Mike. Good idea to close off some of the areas underneath. I have the odd stone that gets in a rattles around some times.

I need to look at a tailshaft hoop too - need to work out a 2-piece one that I can fit from below with the body on. Cheers Gregg

Gregg, there are some aftermarket 2 piece loops available but I used a piece of 125mm schedule 40 pressure pipe, cut it in half and welded 5mm flat bar tabs to pick up the cross member and used high tensile socket head cap screws to install it.
Overkill in the strength department and will pass any engineer or inspectors requirements.
Cheers
