mounting top mount on a drop through deck

is it bad to mount like a top mount on a drop through deck...because im thinking of doing it but im unsure whether it will put unnecessary stress on the deck?

Ive got a metal plate on the top to stop the lateral forces of the hardware pushing into the drop through hole.

 

As far as I know however, cases of caved-in-drop-through-hole do not exist. Smashing-in the front of a drop thru is more common.

If you do this and the neck snaps no company will give you warranty and i snapped a drop thru by riding it top mounted so it can happen.

I had a Comet FSM topmounted with indies that snapped at the neck. Comet replaced it for me. I rode a drop through deck topmounted for a year, raced all over europe with it, crashed it harder than I ever did with the Comet. No snappage. Decks snap because they are weak, not because of how you mount them.
