I'm facinated by this Guys
I just can't figure out which bit your talking about unless its the small tube that the bolt runs through but that woud take some wearing through (specialy as it runs in an ally frame once the plastic has worn away
)
Stick a picture up Hex (please
) so I can get with the game and maybe sugest a fix

Forget all the above I have just twigged its the footplate support tube and yes I broke one a while back but came to the conclusion that I had adjusted the rod on the side that it broke too high and caused it myself
Having said that there was a spate of them breaking on 7's but I had only heard of mine on PJ's and the pair it broke on were on their second set of springs and they were on their last legs and they broke where the circlip holds them in place (thinest and weekest point but no sign of wearing through)
I did machine up a set of thicker ones for the set that broke but all my other 3 pairs are still on PJ ones and going fine so I think it's just the odd one that goes with old age
Shame about the bent frame Hex hope you can salvage most of it
