Door bracing

I braced the door opening a bit differnt than ways i have seen on here previously. One nice thing is the door can still be mounted and closed for final adjustement. Shown below for a blazer, but connection at dash would be the same anyway..
The mount under the dash and around to the front is mostly the different part, plate was plasma cut out of 1/4" plate steel and bolts in the factory dash mount locations. This way no weding to the dash..The brace by the floor is just L2x1 1/2x1/8 angle mounted with the factory bolts. The adjuster part works a lot better than what i thought and is actually quite rigid.

Figured i would post some pics.
