I was thinking the same it looks like the standard bodywork would all fit around it. I would like two of them !

I design it and had someone do all the bending and ends prepared for welding. I done the final fettling and welded it all.

It is designed to fit all bodywork just needs a slot cut out of scuttle so it slips over the tube. One thing I added was a 2" tube going the full width of the car to add a good front cage mount and side impact strength in the leg area.
