Hi Jason,
Why would movement of the body put any stress on that joint? These are pretty big diameter tubes and aren't in any stress in the nominal position, I actually want a 'bit' of give to allow the adjustment at the rod ends but that is only minor. I was initially thinking of adding some extra bars but they are really strong as they are, I will monitor their condition though. In fact in my head I was thinking some sort of gusset would double up as the drop link bracket. The only bit that I'm not 100% happy with is the single shear of the front rod end and that's why I went up to M14, ideally that would be double shear and now I have the geometry and a better idea of the package that might be something I re-visit.

Rich
