Reply to "Kitman Speedster progress update"

Here's a bare CMC sub-frame from a burnt up Speedster (ignore red marks).  The square tubing to the rear is not very strong and relies on a few rivets to it to support the tail fiberglass (hence butt sag with a bigger gap at rear top of doors (easy fix).  I like the way you moved it back.  With a T1 engine the transmission/frame horns and an add-on Kaffer brace will handle a good size engine (if frame horns don't have internal rust).  The rear brace would be handy for hanging a heavier type 4 engine or a Subaru rear mounting point.

Without door strikers installed, will your door close further? Mine are only stick out for a few inches up the door (maybe 4-5 max).  Or do you have rubber seal installed pushing it out?  Alan for sure has an idea.
