Default Cracked my Opti Box on my DELTEQ, AARRGGGHHH!

I emailed DELTEQ to let them know I was tightening it down, where the power steering box is attached to the stud. The stud was loose as I was racing autocross and the power steering reservoir was tilted after one run. So, I tightened the stud, then the nut that hold the reservoir bracket down on the passenger side head and SNAP. I didnt realize I was so strong
Anyways, car still runs but the case is cracked where the o-ring of the Opti Box for the DELTEQ popped out a little.
Sorry no Camera, as it is broke.

I would remove it and put some JB Weld on it. As long as you don't point the garden hose at it, it'll be fine IMO.

Yep it is. Seriously, I was just trying to make the stud that holds the Box and the power steering reservoir tight. I really didnt think I was wrenching on it. Oh well. Live and learn.
