I just welded it AGAIN!
I'm going riding the weekend, so that's what has to work for now.
Then I was thinking of making the bar that runs from the uper mount
to the pipe out of a thermo platic like Nylitron, Ryton, or Nylitron GS.
And keeping the rubber in there as well.
Might be wroth a try???
Don't have much to lose I guess???
