Hi mikeo,

Firstly thank you for that photo.

Now am I correct in my observation regarding the rear rail that it is slightly sagged due to heat ?
I have just had a friend of mine drop off his chassis that has been professionally welded and it also has a slight amount of sag towards the middle. It will have to have the engine slightly shimmed up on the two centre mounting points so as to perfectly align it to the clutch.

I'm starting to feel that a gusset should be welded in place on the underside before all the fractures are welded up. This would reduce sag or twist in the rail. Again a pro would know this I'd say.

Please run a straight edge along the top of the rail and see if there is any gap between the straight edge and the rail in the middle area and let us know.

Cheers,
BB
