    how are the "taco" gussets being formed for around a bar? i see the formed hole as more optional for further weight savings.

    i think i will add some sheet metal to my driver door bars as some insurance. not for this type of incident but there are still suspension pieces, etc. that can penetrate the door/cage.

    and my car/logbook is old enough that the plate rules do not apply, iirc.

    edit: that went away, i guess. haven't looked lately cause i was not changing anything. here is an excerpt from 2008 GCR.

    3. Mounting Plates
    a. Mounting plates welded to the structure of the car shall not be less than .080 inches thick. The maximum area of each mounting plate in the American Sedan, Improved Touring, Showroom Stock, Spec Miata, and Touring classes shall be 144 square inches. Plates may be on multiple planes but shall not be greater than fifteen inches on any side.
