Repair base for GPR v4 damper?

[virtualsolitude]

Okay. So I did something stupid while installing the base plate for my new steering damper. I used an impact wrench to "ease" tightening the SSN to 130 lb ft of torque...and ended up breaking one of the tabs (flanges) that keep the base plate from rotating. I've attached pics. Wonde ring if there's a way to repair that broken tab. Or where I can get a replacement base plate.

What a "don't do that" lesson I just learned tonight. It's after midnight, I waited for weeks for the damper to arrive and even took my time before getting around to opening the package to install it.

Any help is appreciated.

what bike?... 130 seems awfully high... I would suggest contacting the manufacturer for a replacement mount...

Obviously a lesson learned... Impact guns (air or electric/ cordless) can work well to loosen high torque value fasteners on bikes, but I suggest to try not to use them to when installing/ torquing them... but I'm guessing that's something you'll likely not do again
