In front, I suggest you reinforce the gusset plates where the lower a-frame
bolts mount to the frame. I believe that the '74 already has the stock
plates that Moss sells as an add on for earlier models, but extra
reinforcement is needed for racing.
Also, the rear area where the trailing arms bolts go through the frame.
Fabricate a plate to give the retaining nuts additional support.

Subject: Stiffening '74 TR6 Frame
I've got a frame off project started.... frame is in good condition. Some
minor surface rust. 43,000 miles on the car. Stored indoors for the past
20 yrs.
I have seen a few comments here and there about gusseting the frame while I
have the chance. Would like to stiffen suitable for race preparation.
Does anyone know where I can find a reliable set of plans, guidelines,
instructions, photos, etc. for welding additional bracing on the TR6 frame
without causing fit / clearance problems later?
Thanks,
