Started mulling over the nose ring design for the Focus.

It does not look feasible at all to make something that anchors to the firewall. As Matt suggested, some reinforcement of the cowl and then attaching the nose ring mounts to the inside of the cowl, and adding to (or beefing up) the cowl firewall attachment fastemers, is the logical way to proceed.

I understand that Syssa plans to make the nose rings, but since they aren't available yet I will make one from ply as I did with the nose ring for the YS110 in the Focus Sport. Circular hole with a cut-out for the Hall sensor... I know, make damn sure the nose ring doesn't contact the Hall sensor at any time.

Hopefully, the weight of whole modification won't exceed 2 oz.
