check around the engine bay, there will be more, as ya say, far from uncommon.

Repair the welds and fit a diagonal brace as was added to the GU. I also weld in a piece of 25mm box along the top of the inner gaurd, the outer gaurd will refit as normal.

Cheers

from about 1/3 the way down the firewall to about 1/3 the way along the inner guard.
