I should clarify that Hatchet 2 will have helicoil inserts next time and 20mm Hdpe but the method will remain roughly the same but i would advise to use actual high tensile bolts instead of screws, they do grip better but they are nowhere near as strong.
Edit: also just to focus on what Matt was saying, his machine can deflect spinner attacks due to the steep angles whereas if Hatchets shell was caught by a good horizontal odds are because it is end tapped and there are corner joints then it would lose a panel, both construction methods have their upsides and downsides, Hardwired is stiff as but that means when a spinner does manage to grab on the chassis has to cope with the full force of a hit which is why the hit from 720 buckled the shell whereas something like Hatchets Hdpe shell will deform and absorb some of the impact. Binky caught it really hard at the front and dug in but even that only caused minor damage it looks worse than it is.
