You're right.
I downloaded and zoomed in and can see the cooling fins on the ZF6 now and the threads on the side of the plug. After zooming the "wrinkled" area looks to be a crumbled area from stress. Anyone else see that? There is a curve cut on the other side of the piece but several inches away.
I'm sure it all functions very well as is. I just wonder if this area takes all the movement over and over.
This is the first X brace I've seen. Again, thanks for posting.
