Seems well thought out. Definitely something to think about.

The only way to permanently solve this is with a bolt through design that transfers all load to the actual frame, thereby virtually eliminating the RACP from the load equation entirely. A cross bar like we see here is identical to the Forbes design from a load stand point - all load is supported by a stiff cross member that ties into main frame rails. It is not necessary to replace the RACP if it no longer supports the load. No?

![]() I agree with OP that this design is enough to keep rear nice and tight. yeah, ok, you can still build it further and keep reiforncing more and more. But I think this is pretty sufficient. I had similar situation like OP in one of my project M3s and the brace across solved the problem. The rear end feels so much planted. No twisting, just feels solid. Ill be doing similar to my Resurrection M3 as well. heres a pic ![]() |
