brainstorming !

Need some opinions before i waste my time with a trip to the fab shop. I was thinking maybe i can modify the X member to bolt up with the SFCs between the X member and the chassis. What i thought its what i drew with crayon in MS paint below,



Pretty much hack the passenger side of the X member off, and rebuild using some sort of flat plate. I remember my old DS loop being just flat steel, not tube. But then again, a DS loop really doesnt take any force. I would imagine a TQ Arm X member takes some serious stress.(even though the angles on this X member are just look like they were made by smushing) Do you fancy pants engineering folk think it will work?

DS loop in question.
