Considerations to Keep in Mind:

1. Keep track of weight

   1. Standard weight that dynamics designs using is 720 kg.

   2. Calculate weight of tubes before adding the new tubes. Then calculate weight of tubes after new tubes are added. Calculate percentage difference. <5% difference is likely not a large concern

2. Remember the complications in regards to welding.

   1. Should review and measure out chassis before finalizing tubes order

Chassis Before Any Modifications:

ASC Regulations Requirements:

See Appendix F of ASC Regs 2021 for more details

First Reinforcement Attempt

General Max Stresses:

A lot of stress in the front half floor area. Will likely add more tubes on the lowest floor level shown in pink
