What in particular? The cage? The way the cage is welded to the chassis? The battery box?

between the rear STB and the cage bar that mounts on the rear wheel well, that should recompensate for the missing partition

That's my car (and me in the pic), and if I had it to do all over again I might leave that in since I read an article where BMW found a decent aount of rigidity in that little panel.

What are you planning on running the car in?

Why not just weld an X brace in its place?
