Front sub frame reinforcement

View attachment XV%20Inner%20fender_.jpg
I notice a few you you refer to these as XV bars, is that just a common name for them or are they manufactured under that name? Is this a typical way of stabalising the front end as the end result would be the same as my original post but it takes up a lot more room! A straight bar back against the inner guard would be stronger and give more tyre clearance. With the shock towers welded to the inner guards and maybe gusets to reinforce the shock towers would the load really be too much for the towers. I'm running an all alloy V6 so not a lot of wieght over the front end. I'm just trying to stop the flex that allways cracks the A pillar in 1962 Plymouth Valiants, I havn't seen one without cracks and this movement accounts for that happening. I havn't seen anybody in Australia, other than drag cars, reinforce thier front end so your posts have been of great interest, thanks guys!
