Well those pictures are really interesting, thanks.
The tubes are extended and one now goes to the centre line of the ball joint so no bending forces on that plate.
Also, my end plate is only 4mm thick! Could you check that new ones are 6mm?
So the design has certainly changed for some good reason?
