My TSDZ2 casing broke. Are shell replacements worth it or should I consider other options?

Another clueless self ingratiating and anecdotal review.
I admit defeat to @JES2020 2020. Putting me in the Valley of Despair.
These are the ones I am working on now. A recumbent and classic triple butted, lugged, Japan chromoly.
As @tomjasz knows Bionix was a rear hub from a former generation of bikes. I get asked to remove them because they are no longer supported and die. The TS mid is a reasonable upgrade option for some of these applications. @ultra_deluxe cracked the shell because it was locked down on only the left side. The torque was then all on the right. The block supports the right side but the chainstays were too wide and the block was not extended by 7mm with a plate. It is lighter than the 8-fun but needs full secondary reinforcement on both sides of the motor's shell.

Whatever dude, You could have avoided all this unpleasant exposure.

Remember, this came from you arguing against my opinion that:
"Wow, Way to many problems with mid drives for my patience. My advice, switch to a hub motor."

Maybe next time you'll know better.
