Intrax suspension failure

Hi,

NZ_M3- I am no engineer but with the greatest
of respect, I think you have missed the issue.

If it takes 'x' amount of force for a nut to be forced
through a sheet of metal, then by adding a washer
with a far greater diameter than the nut, it will require
a force far greater than 'x' to force the nut through.

The point load had been spread.

The issue is created by load forces down not up.

Regards,

The Gorilla.
