Rebuilding my Straight 8s-- Couple of questions

Hello-
Now that I have the proper tools and a little more woodworking experience, I am rebuilding my Straight 8s. Two questions (for now!):
As long as I am at it, I have the opportunity to add additional internal bracing. Any advantages, or would any diminished returns be too diminished to notice?
More important- I would like to mount the tweeter in a sepatate small enclosure above the main cabinet. This would of course allow easier fiddling around with other tweeters-- and since I'll be going for a nice wood veneer finish, I'd like things to look as clean as possible, should I swap to a tweeter requiring a different sort of mounting.
Anyway, about the externally mounted tweeter-- any caveats? I'm planing to shift all the drivers upwards in the cabinet, as high as I can (keeping the cabinet otherwise stock).
Thanks in advance!
Kurt
