Z plate reinforcements? plus others rear sets
There's a rarity of hard points on a Commando so I want to load the snot out of the strongest over built item on a Commando, the signature Z plates. Trouble is their mounting points aren't much a span for the spindly tubes. If ya grab end of a Z it only takes hand force to move it an 1/8" or more d/t frame gusset area flex. Top to bottom bolt span is pretty good and rigid to vertical loads but side wise the Z end can over lever the top bolts span. Anywho its on my mind to triangulate better so open to creative suggestions. Go grab a Z plate and help think on how you'd or me could fix it.
