Unless you are refering to the brace above the t-bar. With the type of carbon we use, you don't need that brace.
I built the first prototype front several years ago, so it has been run before. On a lot of cars. What is really interresting is that you notice all changes you do, instantly. I have no problem dialing in some more steering when needed.

I think this car looks like a good, modern design. Well executed and following the latest trend toward stiff chassis with no cut-outs. The front end is certainly no more complex than the Reflex 12, I'm curious if it is as difficult to dial in.

Are you the designer of the car? I would be interested in obtaining one for my collection.
