Broekn spring mount?

[jmbrodsky@domain.elided]

Tom,

        I think that if it were broken previously, we would have seen it on the 
ramp at NWBRU?  You also would have heard some terrible clunking on the obstacle
course, etc...  You've got a welder right?  No problem, just build it up plenty 
thick!  Add more steel too!  Fleck, You ever reinforce these?  I'm still 
planning the shackle reverse for the front, should I think of another option in 
light of recent events Tom?

Hindsight, I think I stressed the spring mount on Holy Cross City... I
remember it scraping on the French Creek crossing.. could've been broken
nearly the entire duration of my roadtrip, and only reared it's ugly head
while coming *home* from this trip.

I wonder what'll happen when I go racing this weekend... :-)
