I didn't realize we were now discussing the finer points of bridge construction. The fork brace, your choice, is to reduce/eliminate lateral movement of a span of approximately 6". It would appear to me, both braces are over-engineered for their intended purpose. Both braces come in parts that need to be assembled. Take a close look at the TKAT brace, notice the Alan head bolts in each of the 4 corners? Now then, compare that anchoring system to that of the Super Brace......See any difference? Notice the difference in the thickness of the two braces? Common sense would suggest the thicker components would flex less than components 50% thinner, wouldn't you agree? Here's a simple experiment you can try in order to grasp my point. Find an anvil, now then, try and bend it? Any luck? Now then, get a hacksaw blade out, place your thumb and fore-finger on each end and try and bend it. Fairly easy to bend, isn't it? Could it be, had the hacksaw blade been as thick as the anvil, it wouldn't have bent?
