Removable bit on chassis

[neal1980]

As part of my build the removable bit of the chassis at the front (think the expansion tank bolted on to it)..Will not go back in as I have manifolds going down there now. Is this needed??

I can probably fabricate something to fit if necessary what are your thoughts???

Just my thoughts but, if it wasnt needed then TVR wouldnt have bothered in the first place.
Its chassis bracing round the area of the top wishbones. Presumably it helps to keep the top chassis legs in position when the loads from the suspension arms increase.

I'd definlty make some thing to go in

Yeah your right, well looks like my weekend is planned for me already then now

Cut the ends off and bolt in place. Make something to avoid your exhaust and weld in ???

Have fun

I would say "yes"
as the others have said it looks like it acts like a strut brace so if you have the space go round the manifolds using the original fixing points
