After repair (by welding or replacement w/ upgraded crossmember), you can add these crossmember reinforcements.

These came standard on 960s, so maybe you can find some at a JY.

I really enjoyed the quality photos of cracks+the repairs in this great thread. I went through it several times, saying `what the hell... is it soo common?` then I decided to see my crossmember...

I`ll take your advice: drill, weld, inspect again... while I will be trying to locate a pick-and-pull junkyard nearby. Thank you for the quick answer, it is very helpful!
