Please show some photos of what you are doing to lock the torsion bar tubes (now there are two) down….

Agree, the loads on the inner mount is significant and does not change much with coilovers, if anything more load is put on it without torsion bars.
If you completely cut the torsion tube it needs proper reinforcement but it's surrounded by flimsy sheet metal only.
If you look back at the 73RS the torsiontube was reinforced by brackets tying into the center tunnel.
