I dont see how those bolted items will help strengthen the crossmember. I
also dont think the long plates will be strong in a lateral load. They
will flex and in turn, put more stresses where the crossmember is bolted
to the bar. think of where its bolted at the plates as a lever from the
point from the strut tower. The front end will flex and in turn, transfer
the load to the point where its bolted up at the tall pieces. Looks good
tho.
