Forget the girdles, they are a waste of money and give you a false since of security and hope [/quote]

what are you not seeing as a strong point with a cap n girdle kit Cab? These BCR units look awesome. Caps that fit snug between the webs, A girdle that mounts further out than the main studs for even more rigidity & is 1/2" thick. I'd be more inclinded to go this way than alloy caps.
