That doesnt look right, but I've never looked at one that closely.

I had a 37 Ford a few years ago and the tube size was 1" in that area. It was a very tight fit around the helmet once the roll bar padding was added! So yes I believe it to be right for the 37 and 40 coupe chassis. I'm sure Dennis can confirm this.

this looks correct. The tubing there is smaller than the other chassis'
