- I believe the tube is very important in keeping the car from 'caving in' in a semi-minor side impact....at least I was told that in regards to TR3-4 by a very experienced tr3 guy ____________________

- It's a tube... you can cut the cross section to make clearance and then weld in a piece to box it and you won't loose any strength. Note that the piece supports the shock towers (and to some extend i
