I once heard a body shop instructor who taught at the local
Jr. Collage talking about the two part body adhesive and he
said the same thing John. In a straight pull that may be true
but sudden acceleration can create very high G loads. Enough
that it may break the bond. For instance, jump off of a stool
36" off the ground and landing straight legged could result
in close to 100 G because of the sudden stop. During a head
on or impacting a solid object can also generate very high G
loads. Once read where that was the reason Princes Diana
didn't survive her accident, the sudden stop tore her aorta.
If it were mine, I would opt for a solid plate bolted in place.
