Front strut brace bar, need some info on fabing one up

[super vw]

Its steel, i think i could sandwich two 1/8th plates to come up with 1/4 for the bottom where it bolts to the body, but i dont think it will be needed. the way i designed it to be ribed and boxed in should keep things from going wacky. but we will see, worse case i could just add those extra plates at the end if needed.

got another question to, Triagulation... think its needed on a beetle? i have seen porsches with a 2nd bar going down from one tower to create triagulation.
