Hello

Having some issues with the local technical inspection here in Belgium, I want to replace the rear centre chassis section (cf picture).

Do you think I need to reïnforce the chassis while taking the old section out? I'd say probably not, but would like a second opinion.

That doesn't seem fair. It's not even rusty just chunked into. Too bad you can just replace the lowest 50mm and grind the weld.
