I had the driver’s side break at the weld as well. It broke right at point the piece of flat stock welded to the 2 pieces weld to the side pipe (hope that makes sense). Where broke as the point that carries the most load, the bracket did not look like it had enough structural integrity to me. I simply doubled up the 1 inch flat stock by welding another on top of it. So far it has been fine. I did same to passenger side before it had a similar fate. Mine is a later chassis (992) and it has rubber mounting arrangement to the frame. Talking to Jay from Vintage and it sounds like a very common problem on the BDRs.
