I agree with you. A simple redesign would be to make TP5 and 6 one 
single tube, with lightening holes, weld a flange on it that bolts onto 
the inside of the root rib. Relying on a bond between epoxy and 
stainless steel is not sensible. imho
I still wish we knew more about what went wrong with G-HOFC though.
