Make sure you double them up in high-stress areas.

it wasn't exactly that the aluminium would bend, but the bolt would rip thorought the gussets and the peice would rip off...
also don't forget to use some lock-tight on the bolts! they really get vibrated around and will unscrew if u don't (and sumetimes even if u do).
also, where there is going to be a lot of impact or stress in any way, sometimes it is best just to bolt straight thorought the extrusion. It is much stronger than any hardware you can use.
