I guess you’ve cut the 911 engine mount off the new crossmember, but does anything brace the corner to the longitudinal on a 912?

Finally some time on this. Fitted the torsionbarhole backdated plate I have made.

Spotwelded. Fully welded later.

After this I cut out the original narrowbody wheelarch while fixating the flare with clamps during the process.
