Default Broken shock mounting

After breaking a third shock mount ,(not the carbon part) after making a small mistake.does anyone else have this problem and have a fix.

I am already using the SVR part as this is supposed to be stronger, may be but just a fragile though as just broke one of those.

I feel this spoils a good car, as I feel very cautious about driving it and taking any sorts of jumps at any speed for seeing it roll over and break another shock mount.

so back to driving my DEX210 and time consider selling the SV2

I guess you mean the SV2 top bulkhead. I have broken a couple off these. The one I have on my car at present, I have boiled in water for 5 mins, which used to be an old trick, to add a bit of flex to plastics, and I also tapped the holes that are used to hold the shock tower on, to take the stess out of the plastic when you screw the screws in.
