Body Structure

[gwilson]

Does anyone know if the Drop head has some structure aorund the screen/A pillar (steel/wood?) AND does this vary from the FHC??

The drophead and fixed head were both designed at the beginning. Having owned both I'm not aware of any differences. Note that the rear of the door is different though.

I thought the B pillar was different - may be wrong though

If there's any kind of reinforcement in the DHC windscreen frame, then it must be made of chocolate judging by the amount of movement I can induce on mine!
The only difference I know of is that the DHCs (or at any rate later ones) had a cross-brace between the A-pillars (a length of steel tube behind the dash) and a similar one between the B-pillars (at the front edge of that shelf behind the seats).

Structure? Reinforcement?
Is this a TVR forum?
