If the metal pivot is machined and then the metal pivot ball is swaged in, no problem. Just can't pop new ball in and out...if made well should last. Beefier plastic piece made from better plastic would be my choice though.

i agree, plastic gives a little and the uppers are under some serious stress
most of the time..

a beefier plastic piece would be nice..

You know another option is boiling the stock ones...will cause the plastic to gain some flex and lose some of the brittleness causing it to snap.

EeePee: Had I not made the 4 link plates I would have went that route. Looks good bud.
