Stop in for a cup of coffee

Does anyone think these braces added to early A have any benefit? @Mattax ?

Those from the 70s cars?
Maybe.
I know Mapes has found his early As relatively stiff. Would diagaonal bracing help further? Probably. Enough of a difference to make a difference? That I don't know. I'm going to add them to my '67 one of these days.
