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 - Ricky Attached image(s)

Sergio sounds like the typical hacks that work on these cars. Replace the ear . That is all you need to hear. Fix it right and it won't come back to bite you in a few years. Plus if you are doing any spirited driving, do you want this "patch" lurking in the back of your mind mid corner?

I have a replacement ear from Restoration Designs that we didn't use when repairing my car. RD's price is $196+tax+shipping. I'm in L.A. and will give you a good deal on it if you're interested.
