Default Chassis reinforcement

I'm getting ready to do a full custom sliding ragtop. Do any companies sell anything that well help me keep my structural integrity after we put this in? Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated

I could have swore I have seen a b/c pillar brace that conects to the Grab handles. I can't remember where though. I ran across it when I was looking at the 6' sliding rag a while back.

Are you going with a sliding rag from Street Beats?

can you guys post up links to where you find these braces? I want as much support as possible so any braces you find would be great.
I will be doing the Inalfa electric sliding ragtop

the weapon r brace does little to actually re-enforce anything

get a b pillar brace and a c pillar brace , couple that with a strut brace and the 4 point underbody brace


good to go.
