ISO front-end reinforcement kit

This is a duplicate to my posting in the Restoration forum, in the hope of getting more responses. Though the one response I got was helpful (thanks, Alex), I'm not yet finding what I need. This all stems from my trusting my memory.....

I'm looking for a front-end reinforcement kit for my 105 coupe and sedan, to stop the cracking of the inner fender wall, crossmember, and fore-aft subframe element. I saw something on the web that included a large doubler sheet for the inner fender wall and some gussets for the junction of the crossmember and the subframe. I seem to remember a photo on whatever website I was looking at. Of course, I can't find it again, now that I need it.

Does this ring a bell for anyone?

TIA-

As far as I know there is no kit. For racers it is standard issue to weld reinforcings (sheet metal) on the places you mentioned and apply seamwelds next to the spotwelds.

Are you talking about racecars or streetcars?

Thanks for the response, Veep. I'm mostly talking about a Giulia sedan race car. It's got lots of cracks that need repair and reinforcement. The GTV street car had its cracks repaired, but its engine is coming out soon, so the time is right to beef it up, too. Do you have any pictures of the reinforcing bits you mentioned? Making sheet metal gussets isn't tough, but a guide makes it easier.

****update****

Your location being listed as the Netherlands jogged my feeble memory! The kit I had seen was on www.prinsbredevoort.nl. I found it again under raceparts/bodypanels. Thanx for the indirect pointer.
