Came to a decision yesterday.
My car, my build, my visualisation, my way,
Advice always appreciated.
I walked down to the garage just to get out the chair and off the couch.
Saw this support, which I really like.
Then thought about it, walked back and fetched the garage keys, got a length of high density foam from the rafters.
Added it to the brace.
Then wrapped it in 50mm wide black nylon webbing.
Both tidier and arguably “safer”
I like the look, as mentioned before.
Ordered some fresh new webbing off Evilbay.
Both the rear section as done before, and the cross brace will get this treatment.
Those who do not like it, I am sure will not be doing their car builds like that.
And anyone who really really really hate it that much, come buy the car, take it home and fix it for yourself.
Problem solved.
