cool was thinking that today!

removed the carbon canister on the otherside today to fit the oil cooler for the supercharger

the engine oil cooler needs to be in the fog light on this side! more space = more air

Ben coming along nicely!

You should have a bar here (mentioned before). Quite critical as obviously provides B Pillar side impact protection.

surely if a bar was needed there designers would of added one?

dont ever see bars there on any cages.

i am guess the strength of the main hoop, coupled with being welded in palce etc provides enough.

unless you put a 'X' section in like WRC cars etc run.

FIA testing must of missed it then!

Ive just been looking on the manufacturer pics and there aint one there...

however, the new OMP design is quite different but does have strengthing in that area.
