It's a good thing there were no youngsters around to hear me. Fortunately I was able to salvage it by welding up a strong support bracket that it bolts up to. Other than that it seems to work well.
It’s amazing so many aftermarket parts are just crap and potential to be unsafe. Plenty of original Ford parts around but patience is sometimes needed.
