There was also a fairly substantial crack at the back of the n/s/r rear subframe mount, a less usual area for the failure but I have seen a few.
In this case its neccesary to drill at either end of the cracks to stop the spreading, and then weld the cracks shut. Instead of the resin, I opened up the chassis leg inside the rear of the car and welded the 2 skins together to increases strength.
I have a feeling I'll be doing a few more of these in years to come!!
