Unhappy Leaking fuel rail

While doing some tuning this past weekend, I noticed fuel leaking from my fuel rail. It appears that there is a crack where the front bracket is welded to the fuel rail.
Does anyone know if these can be repaired? What are they made of?
Is there an after market product that is a direct bolt-in?

The Lindsey Racing fuel rail is a great replacement. I have zero problems from mine and it has been excellent from day one.

The lindsey unit is not a direct bolt on. It requires a different FPR and dampener IIRC. They sure do look cool though!

They are made from steel but I've heard that repair attempts have varying degreess of success.

Get another one from somebody parting out a car. The 944 and 951 rails are the same.

Easily Rapairable. brake clean the whole rail a bunch. Weld it up. Great opportunity to bling out the car with a lindsey rail though. (New lines too.) I just pulled mine apart. It seems I was about 30second away from a hose bursting. The one that goes from rail to dampner. Change that now if you haven't.
