Gee, that looks familar...nice! I like the fact that it has additional attachments to the door piller (btwn the hinges)...hmmm, that additional connection should help increase the torsional stiffeness of the firewall.
I think I'll add a couple of my "nutserts" to the door pillar btwn the hinge plates and then add an angle to the truss vertical (that'll stiffen the section of the vertical member where the diagonal is attached too) for an additional attachment to the door pillar...probably add less than a lb. That'll better stabilize the vertical member and provide an additional load path into the door pillar. Worthwhile design revision w/o much weight impact...nice!
Thanks strudel, good find!
