I've seen one animal snap them while using M3 screws, so I'm not sure M4 is a great idea TBH.

I broke a wishbone hanger - the rearmost one, not the 10deg block. But I did hit a car flat out on the straight - the list of broken parts was long (but Wishbone survived!), and im still finding things twisted now after I thought id fixed it.

3 animals Ive done a couple of the rear hangers with the M3 screws.
I did the same thing as chris and hit a car flat out on the straight, the broken parts mounted up... but no broken wishbones that was with medium flex btw.

Nice job on that. Hopefully, Schumacher or someone produces that, as well as a bumper, as a kit, certainly addresses the problem!
