TD car frame reinforcement spots

I have not seen a TD frame up close. Where is the frame reinforced, other then the stiffness the roll cage adds. I assume there are some gussets in key spots. Anyone have any pics?

As far as I know the frame is identical, it is simply the addition of the full cage.

The main frame is the same, however there are a few additional pieces that run from left to right, outboard of the main frame rails, under the driver and passenger areas for occupant protection. I'll be picking my car up on Thursday, I'll see if I can get som pictures. I do believe there are a few gussets added, but they are primarily for cage attachment.

Bailey,
When you get some photos, please share. I believe the outriggers you are highlighting are in production circa the 800 series cars.

Thanks
