It probably has been posted before but since I had it and just in case some of you folks haven't seen what the new and supposedly improved fairng bracket looks like, here it is under a broken old style one:

I was not aware that they changed the brackets. Good to know and thanks for the info. I'd like to know when they started using these too.

Must be pretty new, my '07's aren't like that. They look like they'd be stronger.

They definitely look stronger. Looks like the MoCo finally decided to do something about a long time problem.
