Re: Spider Chassis Stiffener

[Caxambu@xxxxxxx]

On my '69 I had to cut away a portion of the left front triangulation plate 
to clear the floor-box clutch linkage in front of the clutch MC. Installing 
the chassis stiffener required no other mods.

It made the car feel much more solid and stable. The major drawbacks for me 
are slightly reduced access under the car, and it is noticeable from a 
distance when viewing the car from the side.
