Interesting, I wasn't aware these are prone to failure. At what power levels does this happen and do you have any photos of one that has suffered failure?

 

[phil@BPC]

It does happen, we have made quite a few of these with zero failure rate to date.

A failure of the stock mount is due to customer abuse, it can happen at stock power levels or it can happen at 800-1000whp. On Rubens M5 we haven't had a failure yet because we went ahead and reinforced it knowing it would see extreme abuse and massive amounts of power.

I don't have any photos of failed ones, here is a link to M5Post with a video: https://f10.m5post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1328552

Sorry to revive an old thread, but I've tried 100s of searches and to no avail...I haven't found a reasonable solution to the differential support problem for under 1500$. I cant justify paying that much for a damn support brace...Then i came across this thread. Has this mod held up of the past few years? And can i send you a stock brace for this mod?

Tried going to a welding shop and showing them pictures? That is really not a difficult task for an average welder.

i was thinking the same. it looks like he just added some beads along the edges...ill try and contact them.

It almost looks like they welded on a thin layer of metal(aluminum?) over most of it.

This is what they did. You can see it on some pictures (very good on the last one).
