So I got my kit a few days ago and have been working on it (no rush as the battery has not arrived yet). I had a question about the torque bars though. The squared out hole for the axle to go through is a few millimeters wider than the axle. Not nearly enough that it can rotate in it, but enough that the torque will be applied to a point rather than a surface. It seems to me that will cause the steel to distort over time (maybe days, weeks, or months). Have others used the supplied torque arms with success? I was going to drill out a hole in the second piece (the one that generally gets clamped to the frame) and screw it into my fender mounting hole. I imagine that would be stronger than hose clamps, and more importantly more rigid.
