My 914 cracked from the pickup point on the undercar of the chassis. I drove the car like this for a while, but it got worse. I decided that I am not gonna risk my life anymore driving with this. I pulled the engine and trans morning to diagnose the problem.

I was wondering if anyone else here has run into this situation? If so, could you offer some advice in re-inforcing what very little metal is left. Even a picture of one of these welded up would be nice. Thanks

run some searches.
its pretty common.
especially with race cars.

we run braces to solve the problem.
CFR does a beautiful repair kit.
you can also buy this piece of metal new
I would do that instead of welding one back together.

check the classic threads and old threads.
covered many many times
