Default fuel rail leaking again what are my options

good afternoon gents, my fuel rail has sprung a leak once more, having already replaced it once with a good used part then getting the second one welded up after that too failed i am now truly f**ked off with it.
i am aware that due to vibration the original welds are prone to cracks but they arent lasting more than a couple of months.

suggestions gratefully received!

i've seen the lyndsey rail but that is very expensive and would require new damper lines and regulator. ??????? what to do...

car is due at the paint shop next work and could do with sorting this quickly.

Default

check the balance belt and balance belt gear timming. If these are installed improperly it will amplify the vibrations and cause the fuel rail to crack. If is correct you could had just replaced with a old used part ready to fail.
