Is there anything I can do to prevent a reoccurrence? Should there be some sort of hard gasket between the box and the chassis rail to help even out the stresses on the box?
Looking carefully at your photo it would appear that the base of the box is not sitting flat on the top of the chassis — without fixing that a mend will probably break again. Perhaps the steering column is lowered a bit. Classic solution is to fit a slim wedge I believe.
