Keeping that Motor tab together (less strain on the tab mod!!)

well my motor tab began to crack today (i started to freak!!!!!) wasn't to bad but enough for me to holla and scream!!! Well i put some Krazy glue to stiffen it up to prevent anymore cracking. Then i realized how much strain the stock heat sink was putting on the tab. I tried to bend the heat sink into a reverse hook position from the normal way but broke the end. So then i was going to use a spare heat sink, when i remembered the ZZ heat sink. I cut the heat sink in the middle (where the hole is) and stopped at the end of the hole. The i straightened the tab out and bent it downward. The bent the end inward. Cleaned up the edges with a file and now i have a ZZ heat sink that puts less strain on the TAB!!! Looks here's a pic of what the heat sink now looks like, as you can see the less surface area of the tab on the chassis tab gives less strain to the motor tab (to many tabs's!!!) but even thought the tab is smaller it keeps the motor in there nice and tight!!!
