after reading your first post several times and now the second post I now understand exactly what you mean. If DOM tubbing or the spacer like you posted were used how much more force do you think would be needed to sheer off those same 1/2 bolts? Im not sure but just looking at the set up the weakest link in the whole thing, looks to be the mounting pins. they are 3/8 (if that) and im sure there not hardened plus there just floating in the caliper.
I hope im not the first either.
