Wow.... looks like a defect in the metal. Don't know what the warranty is but I would imagine you can get just the bracket for cheap.

One would hope they would replace that at no charge. As long as you didn't open the holes or modify it, that's a manufacturing problem. The front torque arm mount should have broken LONG before that piece should

Nope, its not modified.......you would think that it would be pretty hard to snap 3/8" thick plate steel if it want defective....96 WS6 Formula: Ram Air, 383 Stroker, Ported LT4 Heads and Manifold, 1.6 Crane Rollers, 58MM T.B., AS&M Headers, Borla Exhaust, Meziere Elec.

As I recall, you have the self-built 12-bolt. Does your TA mount use the "through-bolt" style connection, where a single bolt goes through both the top and bottom holes, or does it use an individual bolt in each hole? The reason I ask is that I believe I have seen some posts that relate failures of the rear bracket on the TA to the individual bolt style connection that Moser uses in their 12-bolt. With the Moser 12-bolt, it is almost impossible to keep the bolts tight, and if they loosen it seems to accelerate fatigue of the TA bracket at the bolt holes. Something to think about.
Don't take this a negative or critical.... just trying to see if there is any similarity with the "Moser" situation. I know Spohn has traced failures to the Moser configuration.Fred

Wow thats one mean looking fracture!
You can usully tell by looking at how the metal looks to tell you how and why it broke. If there is a smooth part in the brake surface and the rest of it is ruff or
stalline then you know the brake took time at the begining then all of a sudden broke. That thing looks nasty! If there is a smooth part at all look there and try to see if there is a nick from bad machineing or something. If you can pin point the cause of the brake you may have more of a shot getting it replaced.

They are individual bolts and I am pretty sure that this is what happened. It was hard to tell, because the bracket was broken, but the bolts were probably loose.......Originally posted by Injuneer
I cant run through bolts because they would run into the diff housing........Im just happy the mounting bracket didnt break. That would be bad news....
Didnt know about the Moser issue when I built the bracket......96 WS6 Formula: Ram Air, 383 Stroker, Ported LT4 Heads and Manifold, 1.6 Crane Rollers, 58MM T.B., AS&M Headers, Borla Exhaust, Meziere Elec.
