Just change that to lower control arm. Sorry for the confusion there. Jim, you may not have the same problem, it's possible that BDR reinforced this or redesigned the mount by the time your car was built. These Venoms are like very early BDR. The basic suspension geometry should still be the same though.

OK. That makes more sense. I thought these 2 cars were similar with a BMW strut suspension. I think I know the tab you speak of. I believe my car has support on 2 sides of the tab. I'd love to see pics of yours to see if mine needs reinforced or not. Whenever you get a chance....

I will, Jim. Sounds like you have the rear covered. If its not a tab butt welded to the frame just sticking out into space, you are fine back there. Front will be interesting, but I'm betting BDR figured this out before chassis 189.
