For all I know, the weak points of these cars are many. I noted these lovely thought-provoking comments by another TR owner from the linked posts: "I have particular reason for seconding your comments re death by fire. If a standard TR 2-6 . . . lands upside down, the likelihood is that it will be flat and it will catch fire . . . . and if the occupants are not already dead on impact, if it does ignite then the likelihood of avoiding cremation whilst still screaming is sod all. The hood/surrey/hardtop/windscreen frame won't help. You really do not want to go there."
I've often thought that a tie rod could break, a ball joint could break, the stub axle could break or even the steering lever arm could break. Then again, the likelihood of an old lady coming through a light in a Buick is out there, too. Not sure where to stop the worrying. Reminds me of when I got hit by a falling tree branch. ____ happens.
I'll take a look at those brackets. I'd want to know that I wasn't weakening anything by drilling holes and welding plates.
