Gday Michael,
Yeah Mikko responded within 3 hours of me emailing him (hes laid up in bed, broken leg), and the contacted me via whatapp. your correct, that mount takes a lateral load, so we welded a huge plate in on the mount and its now secured by 2 bolts (so 4 total) on the side as well and fits completely sung against the frame, so there is no room for any lateral movement. . I thought that would be better and its definitively a much more robust solution.
top marks for MRT's Mikko in working with us to solve any issues. Lucky i have access to a machine shop. There are other bits of the kit we've improved upon, mainly to do with sleeves and colers, but yeah pretty impressed with the kit so far..
I test fitted the front wheels today.....
its wide...
long day at the shop...
