Yeah will just add alot more strength into it if the backstays, and b pillar bracing all meet at the same point on the b pillar, so run them at a slight angle from the b pillar bracing down to where the side bars of the tray meet the centre part.... that will look wicked!

and whats the wheel base?

yeah they only 14 " but the way we have set them up is getting max out of them the shock hoops have been designed to allow for up to 20"

wheel base is 102 at the moment but in a couple months when we do the front suspension it will be taken further out

did a few more adjustments yesterday lifted the wings up more and aded a few extras will post up some pic tonight
