I can’t help but feel that the shape should be more triangular in the high stress area with better support coming from under the deck and above the truck. This would cut into the ground clearance but would still be above the hangers.
^this design could work in aluminum I think
As you replied to @moon you don’t want a overly built design?
You’re definitely in the right direction, all this is viable.
My goal here is to have a cost friendly solution AND I have a nice access to sheet bending manufacturing facility. So the limitations here is to have a full design with metal bending only.
You can always make the part thicker, i.e. add material and solve the strength issue this way. As @moon suggested on IG. But this is a lazy solution that I’m not a fan of. Day job habit I guess 
if you could cut a tiny slot in the deck you could have a strut/arch for stiffness.
exact opposite of what you are wanting to do and in the way of your foot.
Excellent
Tests aren’t failing in the lateral direction.
Look at the g bomb tts. Is a similar product made from thin gauge folded sheet metal.
Lateral forces will be lower than vertical, could be addressed with a cover plate to fix over and join the sides?
Exactly like I’m planning it!
OK, bite me
Sandwich bracket (jambon beurre)
3 layers of 1.5mm aluminum, 2 layers of carbon, 4 layers of fiberglass, epoxy.
Looks solid but we all know it doesn’t mean anything 
Forget about it, they just delaminated when I begin to cut them 
Epoxy didn’t stick to aluminium, though I had scratched it with a dremel
mdr 
What epoxy did you use? i find it really hard to find good epoxy in france
you have Dial which sucks ass, Sader that is expensive and meh… and 1min loctite expoxy that hardens before you get it out of the nozzle
I bought my epoxy from blackross, don’t if it’s good or not
I’m buying @IDEA brackets
Enough science, gotta finish my build 
Rivets would most likely work for what you are trying to do here
Yeah that’s not a bad idea indeed
Or make a buck and layup the whole thing in CF?
Completely made in CF ? Sure… Expensive tho
OK, now strength test!
These ones will have a super light load of just a DavegaX… I went through Dani’s trash to get these 
trashpanda
Oh I see, that’s a nice recycling idea 
True story, it was an epic dive!
And it’s a pre-order
Looks nice
