For Li-Rick: As I mentioned above I need to fab a rear body brace for my Kitman Speedster. It had not crossed my mind that I might be able to cantilever it on the torsion tube. Any issues with welding on the torsion tube? I envision welding a bracket on the torsion tube and then bolting a cantilever arm to it to support the brace that is welded to the subframe.
Thanks in advance.

No problem welding to the torsion tube. That is the strongest piece of steel on the whole chassis. Make sure you get good penetration on your welds and use tube of sufficient diameter and wall thickness. I used 1.5” x 3/16” wall.
