Hi subman and welcome from me too!
I also replaced the weak little y bracket with brass from other forum users advice who had the same troubles. They are a flimsy little pice of work aye?!!
I like the overll design of the robbee u47, but they leave a lot of room for improvement. Keeps us thinking I guess! Maybe that was the plan. Who knows?
Enjoy
