Manged to track down kappa uk and have emailed them + other suppliers of kappa luggage to see if I can get another bracket , if not will have to get it welded

Bit disappointed with the build quality as have not taken the **** with weight in top box

Cheers Steveg

With most failures here it is not total strength it is fatigue failure. Not familiar with that design though.
