At 75$ a piece I would consider making it a tad thicker where it breaks but more importantly I'd ask ask for a high grade steel one. That would last a while.
Yea I only asked for 5 at the time, but it was still more than I was expecting. If I had one made for the XB2 I would probably just extend the center part up so it would be straight across the top of it, and make it out of the same 7075 material.
