I was also considering something along those lines when they brought out the Evo, and the goal posts were moved.
It is the Evo T-Plate that has a history of breakage, rather than the original pre-evo version. The problem with the original was that it was too flexible, so your proposal would help there.
I made an aluminium T-Plate and front hanger for the pre-evo car to stiffen it up. I also made an aluminium gearbox but I guess that you will have migrated to the Evo before that might be needed! ;-)
