The car has the weld-in rollcage going to the top of the front suspension, has well has other 9 points (11 in total),
and the substitute of bar you talk about is behind the fire shield under the scuttle.

I think that it corners ok for a corsa…
in that note, here is a picture of the Track début back in the day:

Pic shows only outside of the car here :) . Do you have pictures from inside?

It’s better if the bar is placed on the front suspension points, as also on the back, connected to the roll cage. When you corner most force comes on the front suspension points.

( Blue one you have, green should be added, with reinforcement, yellow )

[Akeemking]

( green linked to blue I also have but not like you draw… and yellow is reinforced )

Only thing I know for sure is from my old Corsa experience, which had that bar you talk, and this one now without the bar but full welded with rollcage. No comparison possible… I only wished the old corsa handled 25% like this one now.

Yes, I have some pictures of the after painted…

I must point out about the rollcage that it is FIA approved and build specific for Corsa B rally cars by British company Safety Devices.

But, maybe you are right… just fitting one and trying it can say for sure if is needed or not in this case.

Okay, got it. But still would prefer the ” bridge “. As when cornering, both coil points, tend to come inside ( exaggerated )

Keep up the good work king:

Look who’s taking…. i know a guy named BBG_gendt who used 1mm sheet metal for floar boards without anny strengthening or ridges, then crapped some molded lava on it what he called a weld. So don’t act if u are the stiffnes guru… Chassis is perfect!

Annyway back to the Corsa ! Like your project very much, u got some nice hardware in it!

[Bart Hoedemaker]

Maybe learn some English first? :sleeping

Yes Dennis, the blinkers are from Morette kit…
maybe you can contact them and they will sell them separated from the kit.

Well,
the news brake hat on front changed the offset
and the 7j ET55 porsche wheels was positioned out of the arch….

…so I sold them.

I tried to buy the 7.5j ones,
which use higher offset (ET65) and might work with camber adjustments and all that
however they are very rare, and I wanted to solve the problem and drive the car.

I still look for those here and there…
so in time I might get other set… 7,5j with 9j or 8j with 9j.
