Now the top brace triangle can stop at the front of the pod and connect to the front or both motor plate top holes on the left side. Looks like you'll have to keep the brace across the back though. No place to mount one elsewhere on the back of the plates.
Thanks for the idea. The bad news is that will not work with the Associated plate or the IRS plate. You can see in the 3rd pic I posted what the IRS motor plate looks like. Good idea though if it had worked out.

If you do so, the left podplate will have the ride height adjuster on the inside and that will not work.
Take a look at my P235-SE. That is also a good solution on how to make an upper podplate...
Beautiful work on the P235-SE, especially the stealth look. So I assume I'm wrong to think your plate design or the PRC plate design has more flex then the design I went with? Maybe my third draft will look closer to the PRC and P235-SE upper plates if that's the case. I at least have the side shock mount points worked out lol.
