De Dion ear failure

If you are running the old style Caterham De Dion ears, the ones that have the hole through them where it goes over the De Dion tube, I highly recommend you do a visual inspection. The photo below is an old style ear that I found while prepping my car for an autocross. This is the second failure like this where the ear cracked through, the first failure was on our road race car and the ear broke off causing quite an issue in the race. We have had no issues with the newer ears, these have a solid web that is machined in place of the hole.
