Martin et al,

As part of my BN7 resto I wanted to take some structural measures to eliminate 
the shakes.  Among other things I welded in 1.5 angle iron on the tops of both 
main rails from the motor mounts back to the crucifix.  Welds were about 2 
inches spaced about 2 inches apart.

I also welded in the 3/4 angle iron inside the tranny box as I call it and 
added more weld on the cockpit side of the tranny opening.  Balancing the drums 
was also done.

No hard data but the car has no shake or rattle - just roll!
