Re: pic: Collapsed Elevator

Glad we could help!

I'll note that the pulley mounts that were shown as riveted in in our model would likely eventually fail. After two offseason events in the 2011 game w/ a 15 lb claw, they've lifted about 1/16" on one end. Rivets don't like tension so we figured this would eventually happen.

For a bulletproof connection during season I'd bolt through the tube and either use a large washer (or backing plate) or some crush tubing.
