The same with me :-(
 
> Are there any crachbars not using these weak mountingpoints?

AFAIK all crashbars use these mountingpoints. They are killed by 
vibrations and tension of the crashbars. Mostly, it is impossible to 
mount the crashbars without tension.

The only way to cope with it is to weld the piece which broke off 
back to the frame. Not very elegant, but it works.

Ciao,

Marco
