driver bearing

[sledhea-753]

ok so i was riding down the trail one day and i had a hard hitting ratchetting start all of a suddon so i stopped and looked things over and noticed that by bearing exploded and tore my driver a ways back through my tunnel. i have a new driver good bearing on it but dont want to put it on yet i was wondering if there is a bolt on reinforcement for the bearing or if im going to have to pull a handyman and fab up one i will have pics up to show what happened but beware it wont be pretty. any ideas?

If the bolt holes are still intact, the retainer plates should hold it fine. But by the sounds of it, that may not be the case. A drop, or drop and roll should have new plates that will bolt onto the tunnel.
