Mark, with regard to the lower pic in post #9 above, the shape of that front hoop tube in the original 2287 car has the 'legs' splayed out [ same as that pic of 2286 ] and they dont appear to be using a bottom cross tube . In the pic of Rons post #3 what appears to be a tube might actually be the front anti roll bar. In 'THE BOOK' there is a series of pics taken during constuction of 2287 that would help you a lot, I know the books expensive, but the occasional one pops up here on CC for sale
