Hi john,
an experience nobody wants to go through. I'm happy to here you wasn't injured.
Perhaps Austins, "design falt " worked in the way it was intended. Under load on a roundabout or in a car park.
If Austins design fault wasn't there it may have been far worse at 50mph.
May I ask if and when the arm was tested before it gave way. As these cracks let alone a failier normally take years to happen.
And also what checks you have planned in the future for the new arm, or will it be a fit and forget item.
I know the questions are controversial, but they are only in interest to how these parts were used in the past, and how they will be used in the future.
Tony.
