Gold Metro AR bar clamp broken

[Hans Efde]

Earlier I reported about my broken AR clamp, something that often happens due to the use of cast iron for the clamp. I had posted it on this forum but can't find it again, possible lost because of a hacker attack.
Anyway the lower part of clamp was recreated in stainless steel:

A local machine shop made this for me for just 20 euros.

Last week I discovered that a clamp had again shifted away from the AR bar mount. I like to corner very fast with my Midas (awesome suspension with the Poweflex bushes, Watson springs and new Spax dampers), but it seems the forces on the AR bar are therefore very high. But then I found the UPPER part of the clamp broken, something completely unexpected. I had tightened the nuts so hard that it split the upper part in 2. I've now removed the part and for the moment keep it like this. My idea is to find a good quality steel wheel with the correct dmensions and cut it in 2 because having this custom milled in stainless steel will be much more expensive that the lower block.

For something like that to snap means it has a ridge on the chassis(?) acting as an anvil..
