My Cambridge has the same set up, though much more badly made.
And mine go through the body (not a 4 piece bonnet, therefore), not through the shell.
In 80,000 miles they have given no trouble. Non-triangulated front mounts will break, as my previous designs did.
Because my radshell is so fragile I have an upper horizontal cross member connecting the wing stays, triangulated with an inverted V from the middle down to the cow horns.
In brazed half inch thin wall stainless tube that I found on a pile somewhere.
Little rectangles of rubber inside and out where the half inch by inch "feet" on the tube ends meet the body, M4 brass screws.
The rears are so crude I won't describe them!
