Nice work, one question though, why do the roof braces not run corner to corner?

Cheers. There is to many bars going into the one joint. In case of a impact you want the main hoop to bend and not collapse with the strain of other tubes being joined around it, plus the roof bars need to be joined to the rest of the cage at the right height, to run as tight as poss to the roof skin.
