If I recall that thread correctly, there was a lot of back and forth about how the internal part of the pinbox is constructed, and how his perhaps might have had a deficiency. He said Andersen blamed it on a bad pinbox, which could very well have been the case. I know there's a lot of people using the Andersen with a standard 1621 pinbox without issue, and I would expect that if this were a legitimate problem, we'd be hearing more about it.
If I remember, that was NOT a Mor ride either it was a factory lippert pin box. I still say the weight is carried by the 2 large bolts going to both sides of the pin. All the set screws do is hold the adapter plate straight and keep it from moving.
