You could always do as I did to make it stronger and make the lower and upper rails in one piece of steel cut to the chassis shape.

May keep the inspector happy.

Really would be interesting to see where the extra bracing ends up as this would be an improvement that should be added as a matter of course. Its stuff like this that improves the breed.
