WD: The writeup I did on my solution seems to have passed muster at
the factory as I have learned that some folks have been referred to it
by Cobra. Here's the link again: http://www.box.net/shared/9dvnt7qgs8

The backing plate does not really help, as there are reinforcement
inserts in the top where the bolts go through, but not in the broader
area under the handle.

Distortion of the corners of the trailer is a separate problem from
the bolts. I sketched a solution that Alfred said he would build;
this reminded me I hadn't received the parts and I just sent Alfred
and Ralf an email. I've been a wee bit busy, sorry this hasn't
gotten completely sorted yet...

Hope this helps,
