Default 149 steering mount cross member

Hello again gents,
I have some spare time these days so dug the 149 out to tinker. I'd like to tighten up the steering and I already tackled the man culprits, axle pin, tie rods, ross box etc. I had to weld up some cracks in the Ross cross member and I notice it still flexes quite a bit when I turn the wheel. One crack under the bolt hole and another at the side frame(see pic).

Anyone else notice this and have ideas to reinforce it? I bought some steel bar to weld on but I'm open to suggestions.
