Topic : Spreader Bracket

We have carbon spreaders and bracket on our CST mast and are just about to have them epoxied back on for the fourth time this season . Puller was on hard  and kicker eased when a gust hit on Sunday sailing inland and boat didnot nosedive  ... bang the complete collar / bracket ripped off .
Never had any problems with our previous superspar mast with a stainless steel collar / bracket . Whats a reliable sollution to stop this happening again ?

I had to have the puller plate laminated on, rather than just epoxied in place, after it pulled off my CST.Haven't had a problem since.
