Default How is your Coil bracket mounted?

I'm looking for ideas on how to improve the way that my coil bracket is mounted. My coil(s) are mounted with the standard U shaped bracket by one bolt to the back of the head. I noticed yesterday that the bracket has cracked and broken right at the mounting hole. Vibration?

I was thinking that I could make something that I could get mounted in a better way...any suggestions??

Dig through summit or Jegs and buy a aftermarket one. If they are only mounted with one bolt, then you know why it broke. I too have mine mounted off the back of the head, but I fabricated a aluminum plate that is mounted with 3 bolts. The bracket is then bolted to the plate.
