You can bolt a piece of angle from the dash support hole on the A post (a 
single 1/4-28 bolt) to the convert. top mount holes on the B post.

I use 2" angle that's thick - 3/16" min. The 1/8" angle isn't stiff 
enough.

I also like to bolt in a piece from the upper seat belt mount on the wheel 
arches.

Doing both makes the tub pretty stiff.

If you're paranoid, then bolt some angle across the two side angles (side 
to side) and think about at least one diagonal brace so the think can't 
twist.
