T-bone basher retainer

I just bashed this "fix", videos to prove it lol, and the little thing held up! The screw holes go thru the thickest section of what was left over, which as you can see isn't much. I had to bevel enough of it away to get rid of the old screw holes. A replacement is already on the way from T-bone, they've been great.
When you look at the design, it just kinda makes sense: it should be beveled to retain the aluminum suspension mount. I think what caused the failure was a couple hard hits to the bumper and the pressure caused the part to get squeezed or pinched out. From one of the other pics you can see one screw hole failed entirely, they're really close to the edge. But if they allowed the part to fill in the gap it adds significant material around the screws. Also, when it impacts, since all the parts would fit together reasonably seamlessly, it would be less inclined to encounter the squeezing/pinched out forces. My 0.02
