It's all good discussion and sharing of info/resources. There are a few threads on the bolts breaking on watts set ups. If a bolt is breaking it is obviously because it is stressed. I didn't like the positions I saw for mounting points as they showed bind on my CAD drawing and had uneven radius rod lengths. I was trying to find the pictures of another guys CCX who moved his mounts to similar positions to what I've used to correct the bolt breaking problem he had. If I can run that up and down by hand that easily there is obviously no bind. The most resistance came from the swaybar bushings which is nothin! The set up I've shown uses 4 of 3/8 bolts to hold the mount, a 5/8 bolt through the top of that and a 1/2" at both ends.
