there are numerous brackets welded to/hung from the wheel well and rear arm cross member, the diffuser just hangs off the brackets

So not attached to the bumper at all? I thought it may wobble and flap about more with less rigidity but if it stands up in racing I guess not.

I'll get to work on it soon I think but more pressing things like sorting the brakes and the tyres have cropped up.

no, not attached to the bumper in any way, they are fairly rigid if secured in the right places, the biggest problem is the expansion of a stainless steel exhaust, which expands by at least an inch when hot and starts melting the plastic diffuser!

Thanks for the help
