Using CAD (that's cardboard aided design) I made up the strengthning plate that sits on the outer end of the front cross member. I used 3mm steel which was probably thicker than standard but that's good, anyway I first made a template

The spot welder I have isn't powerful enough for the thick stuff so I had to plug weld it
