Door pillar MOT failure

[MW88]

Our 3 door corsa failed it's MOT because of a hairline crack on the door pillar which they said was too near to the front seat belt top mount,
The garage (main dealer) said there was a kit available which included some sort of 2 part resin that has to be placed behind the repair weld, does anyone know of this kit or have any ideas ?
Thanks

B pillar? hmm, very rare for a tester to fail it. the crack needs drilling at both ends, and then a plate welding in behind it, followed by being flattened back.

is tricky to do...but a decent bodyshop should solve it for you

Thanks,
I think I understand, drill both ends of hairline fracture, bend out, place a piece of steel behind & weld, then fold back together, weld, grind & primer, is that right ?
I was very suprised they failed it on that because it's not even a split, just looks like a hair & the tester must have spent ages scratching the paint back to find it, they said their body shop would contact me with a price for the repair but I've not heard anything, so I think I'm going to get it welded then take it to a different garage.
