not 100% sure but I thought the gearbox bracket holes were different (this may be for a 3dr shell only though)
someone will be able to confirm.

The shell for the Saph Cossie is the same as all Saph shells IIRC. Think they have a load of holes for brackets etc on the inner wings because of that above reason.

You learn something new every day!
I wonder why they particuarly choose there to re-enforce though, doesnt seem an area that needs attention to me!

You sure they were foam filled mate, cos they have drainage tubes running down inside them?
