You can bolt a piece of angle from the dash support hole on the A post (a
single 1/4-28 bolt) to the convert. top mount holes on the B post.
I use 2" angle that's thick - 3/16" min. The 1/8" angle isn't stiff
enough.
I also like to bolt in a piece from the upper seat belt mount on the wheel
arches.
Doing both makes the tub pretty stiff.
If you're paranoid, then bolt some angle across the two side angles (side
to side) and think about at least one diagonal brace so the think can't
twist.
