Your subframe connector wher eit connects to the front rail - did you add any reinforcement at that attachment point ?

The little "stub" that comes off the main rail, ie where you have attached your subframe connector , is a very thin weak piece. I would add an extension or some kind of gusseting system to attach to the real frame horn. If you design it cleverly, you can reinforce the curved/bend area of your connector to make up for the weakness of a bent tube as well. Should only cost you about 4 lbs per side, 8 lbs total.



on edit: I took a closer look , it does appear you may have done some reinforcement there already. That "stub" is almost tinfoil thin compared tothe frame horn normally.
