The geometry of my front brackets is correct, and I was wondering if I should replace them anyway, since they are aluminum, and you guys all use steel. It turns out that Aluminum is quite strong. IN fact some low grade steel has lower shear and tensile strength. The down side is that aluminum has a small margin between deformation and total failure. Since my brackets are .75 inch thick, I am sure that any disadvantage to aluminum is offset by the added thickness.
