Suggestions for keeping chassis strength
Hello knowledgeable chassis peeps. 
I am looking at cutting out section of lower rail - the area in red needs to be clear as that is where the starter motor bulge in bellhousing will
go.
The engine mount rests on the rail running crosswise - the yellow one.
How would you suggest I fit rails and/or plates to maintain chassis strength?
I can go 3-D i.e. run rail from bottom to top but the exhasut sits on that side.

Firstly, well done, with that picture, assuming it's an F27 you've solved a question from another thread about an ebay chassis!
As for yours.. just move the whole chassis rail outwards and re-weld it in the corner going straight back. This is how it's done in the Locost
and if it's fine for all those cars it'll be fine for you.
Cheers,
James
