Andy you make a very good point! The front tower will fit in the conventional way.
The rear tower will be effectively a stiffening plate for the plastic tower to help add rigidity. From what I have seen of the 02Cs so far the issue has actually been compression failures (landing from jumps) rather than ripping them off the car in rolls. Even the ones I have seen tare a tower off have only happened at a track with big jumps and the fracture site suggests it failed in vertical loading first and the roll just claimed the weakened tower.
It would be possible to do a multipart carbon / ali arrangement for the rear of the 02C but the cost would be too high for most.
