Added support would absolutely help things out. I would prefer to adjust my design a bit to have all the support it needs built into the bump stop itself opposed to a weld on support. Easier and faster to install.
I am building a V2 currently. I have talked with [MENTION=121903]Black798[/MENTION] and [MENTION=143526]theesotericone[/MENTION] and they took the time to explain in detail exactly what they were doing at the time of the failures. After their input I am very confident that V2 base will not fail.
Dont know what to fix if you cant see the failure...
I have the materials I need ordered up for V2 and I'll have it by the end of this week.
To everyone that purchased a set of my original V1 front bump stops (with the hex shaped base):
If you break your V1 set I will replace them with a V2 set at my expense. No problems and no B.S. Other than Black798 and theesotericone, there have not been any failures at all. As both guys said they were hauling ass during the failures and its a safe bet that the higher speeds is what killed them.
V2 is built for the added abuse!!
