the brace is only as stong as the thinest part. look at the 2 and notice the thin area on the other one (though strength is not an issue on either)

there is no more load on the bearings with mine. remember, the load is COMING from the shafts themselves. all load is going through the bearing at all times. problem is the housing seperating allowing the shafts to seperate.

goal; keep shafts from seperating without applying too much heat, wasting matetial that is ALREADY on one side of the break point. (ie. you have all kinds of added material sitting in the corners doing nothing.)
lastly, machining as little as possible.

both fixes work, any fix will work... mine i feel is the cleanest, nicer install


you can also buy the part and install yourself
