Ikelite's dual camera bracket is flimsy

[fish149]

I've got an Ikelite camera housing with an af 35 flash/video light setup. I love the camera and the vid./pics it produces but I've got a major problem with how flimsy the plastic bracket that connects everything together is. In the water it's not so much a concern but man, when you're on the surface and you try to let the bracket support the weight of the lights (vid light mostly) it seems like it's about ready to snap in half.
I was wondering if anyone out there has found an aluminum or metal reinforced after market bracket which is a little sturdier than the standard plastic? Thanks
