YEH ! That did occur to me ,but I expect it to suffer the same faith , even the M2 replacement ,which costs $500US ($3500TT) , is only 10% stronger than the stock one ' and I hope to increase my cars output by about 40-50% so I think I'll try one of our skilled local fabricators , by the way I saw them make a "X" brace for the back there which also sabilizes the diff. and bolts to the four mounting points for the sub-frame,it works great and is real cheap!.

Please...I've welded several broken PP frames and also reinforce them with pretty good success...

"X" Brace
I'll try and get a pic.up but as the name suggests it is in the form of a large letter X ,and made of square section tubular steel with an attachment point for the diff in the centre of the X frame where the both lengths meet ( the original attachment point on the diff housing) .The X- frame then attaches to the sub-frame attachment points under the car via four "ears" welded to each of the four points of the X.
