I guess my confusion on this is, Lotus designed the structure so there WOULD be deflection. So, is it good or bad to install a bracket that will reduce it? The concept of the "Bauerle Bracket" seems like a good one (and I have considered finding a set myself), but what I am questioning is if it defeats some of the design goals that Lotus had in mind. --- Bob Brandys <BobB@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Shannon, > > I installed Dave's brackets on my V8 D.
