Hi Julian,
I think that your description & setup is spot-on - from memory, it is the same as Trevor Booth described quite some time ago in another thread.
One that is standardised, can be done on a completed car (ie, meaningful in the real world), and is recognised by the various authorities administering the ADR's (Australian Design Rules).
The ADR's are based on internationally recognised standards, so you can bet that somewhere in the fine print, there will be a spec on how to measure torsional rigidity, & that this will be it !
BTW, how did the "monocoque lawnmower" in the back-ground handle the test ? !!
Kind Regards,
Peter D.
