That picture is as from DJM. That is before he started to build it up.

Then when the front arches were put on, for whatever reason the front strut tops were moved and angled further outwards and the plates added for the strut brace. The question I have is how accurately was this done? Judging by the TCA's probably not well!
Yep thats what i think. The strut brace is custom made. When theyve moved the strut tops, there would have been a gap to fill. Theyve obviously done an angled plate for a bit more stiffness rather than a flat filler plate which wouldve looked pikey.
