I must agree with you, if in fact these drawings are in the final stages of completion. When I first viewed the drawings I was not impressed with the way the entire front cowl structure appears to be mounted to the sheet metal foot box's by a very weak framework. Looks like it would not be very strong & allow for excessive cowl shake.

Thanks. I'm just glad someone is looking at the structural issues. If the mfgr or representative wants to chime in here-please do. I like to have the results of any testing and these points explained to me from their standpoint.

I like your fuel tank and , most emportantly the way its mounted, oh yes and the sway bars, and I said bars as in two, front and rear, I cant seem to find any on the hurrican, and I dont use straps for my fuel tank.

Hurricane is capable of conducting SFA on their existing product designs and assumedly could do the same here if they choose to. If one of you ERA owners wants to go slam your car into a dump truck and have your heirs report back the results, we'll definitely use that for comparison should they ever test the Hurricane.
