Never seen this before, cracked straight through.... but it has a history... a couple of years ago, I did a quick gearbox rebuild prior to the 2,500 km long weekend trip to Viols Drift bash (and didn't torque the fixed point properly on assembly 
).... on the return leg, we stopped to replace a broken alternator belt in Springbok... Raka noticed some slop in the rear end while I did the belt, the fixed pin was unscrewed by about 8 to 10mm, (pictures showed it was like this since before Pofadder on the way down 
) I screwed it in and torqued it to 160Nm by standing on the 12mm allen key (loaned from a triumph rider) I guess than was when the damage started, it is now cracked through... so I reverted to a slightly worn spare 
so not a bitch about the failure, just wonderred if you had seen it before.

) the effect apeared 2 years later, but I torque religously, so I still go back to that event being the cause...
