Any recommendations for cheap but not crap self aligning clamps for a C-Line? The ones in the photo which have one longer arm on the clamp (which aligns with the non folding side of the frame) are only a few weeks old and I noticed the gap is almost gone which means they are rapidly yielding and are dangerous, I'm going to revert to stock until I find better ones. I have the same style on another old Brompton and they have lasted years so clearly they are not all built the same.

  1. Aluminum grades very in softness; I think the 6061-T6, Might be good enough.

    * **7075-T6:** Hardness ~ 150 HB / 87 HRB (Aerospace/defense)
    * **6061-T6:** Hardness ~ 95 HB / 60 HRB (General structural & CNC machining)
