After welding the grooved crack I ground a piece of the weld flat and I then welded a small piece of steel 5mm x 20mm at 900 across the original weld. Like a gusset.

Cheers.

Have assembled the front end with engine and gearbox. Working on rusty windscreen surround.
Will post pics when I put it together.
