“One would rather suggest a more substantial and solid attachment via some sort of heavy metal beam”
As someone else suggested – not only does this bring into question the integrity of the material used but the ability to detect the continued integrity of the material. Composite designed brackets may have twice the strength of a similarly sized metal fitting – but if they don’t show deterioration in strength as does metal were we can identify crystallization or other forms of weakness – they won’t do the job in the long run.
Any thoughts on this subject from the engineers – which I am clearly not?
