Chassis Reinforcements

[Enrique]

Hi there, I just wanted to know if some of you with higher powered R4s have some advice/pics to share, of what you've done to the chasis to withstand the punishment?

The only thing I found about chassis reinforcements is this picture.
This are the reinforcements used on the paris-dakar Renault 4

That's a useful photo Ivvan - where is the source - any more information about the Parais-Dakar prep?

I'm planning to extend the reinforcement on my rear inner chassis members back from the suspension mountings to inclcude the damper mountings. I plan to fit stiffer dampers and the crack in Bob's Spanish TL ahead of the rear damper mountings worries me.
