Check This Bolt!

Have an RP180 that suffered the same stress cracks at the bolt hole as pictured by Podwerkz. Discovered that the night before leaving for a cross country trip. The 180 has 2 brackets like that - 1 each for the gray & black tanks. Made this discovery in February - imagine my displeasure doing a jury-rigged fix the night before leaving in the dark lying in the snow. Terrible design - I think the original bracket hanger was made from recycling pallet strapping! After my return fabricated a new hanger from 1/8" flat stock.
