I can't do much until I get my pan from WHM !
The bar work should help stiffen the buggy a lot. The cage will bolt to the pan as per the picture, as well as down to the gearbox forks and the rear
torsion housing.
I will get some more pics soon !

I understand why you want to stiffen your buggy, the twisting that I get is unbelievable. My pan has 25 X 50mm tube up the sides and I don't
think that that is enough. I'm planning to weld a 50 X 50mm section on top to help stiffen it which will also raise my body by two inches.
I'm not sure if this is the look that I want but with what I do with my buggy I need to stop some of the twisting.
