Your post also reminded me of this one. It was first asked to everyone and
then you added my name on top and reposted! I prefer not to be asked direct,
leaving me to answer if I chose...as this isn't my forum/mail list and very
shortly will not be spending much (if any) time on this list.

I have never seen where anybody suggested a 1" square tube across the bottom
of the panel. Making a panel extension to mount your throttle/mixture etc to
yes....but a square tube no.

MAM Float "fix" gussets at the door post tops, my suggested double row of
rivets up the door post, firewall plates, "stringer" or angle from side
panels witches hat along upper motor mount doubler to the firewall, gussets
on top deck at panel bends (if using the standard rectangular panel).

Cheers,
Wayne
