Default Too late to save sway bar bracket

I went to install my sway bar triangulating brackets today but I was too late to save the driver side bracket. It had cracked straight through the bolt holes and the sway bar was dangling. That last track session must have been the death of it.

Previously, I was not convinced that a triangulating bracket was necessary but the M030 bars must be too much for the 20-year old L bracket to handle.

Anyone got a spare bracket? (944.343.733.01)

I bought mine from Lindsey http://www.lindseyracing.com/mm5/mer...44SWAYBARSMISC but I first saw them at KLA http://www.klaindustries.net/.

I happen to be placing an order with Lindsey and added the brackets. The cracking must be pretty common since Lindsey mentions it in their description.

Anyone try Rennbay's? They're slotted so they look easier to install.

I got the ones from paragon. There are also other little race companies that make them. I like rennbay's idea but I think its more safe to use unslotted.
