Talon reinforced motormount

Hi,
I'm flying the hobbyking Talon hexacopter and I'm pretty happy with the lightweight frame.
But the aluminum motormounts seem to be too weak. They break or bend regularly, thats why I came up with a reinforcement plan.

The cfk-landing gear should be replaced by my modified version to connect to the motormount-reinforcment-plate.
I hope the pictures explain it all.

I'm not able to provide CAD data, but if someone would like to produce them, he will find lots of customers for sure 8-)
I'm just asking for a free set for my hexa for the idea.

I have the hexacopter, but the motormounts are the same. Very light frame,but the aluminum parts are kinda breaky.
