Did you install the conical washers, the flat washer, etc behind the basket? Not the first time I have seen baskets break the ears off.
Thanks for reply and yes installed all washers the right way the basket looked in good shape and for it to break in 3 places ? If i could upload photos it be alot better
Use tinypic to upload the photos, then copy and paste the img code here. Stock baskets do not last forever. Alot of the times the gear and the basket will have play in them. If you hold the gear in one hand and try to spin the basket in the other hand you will most likely notice some movement. There shouldn't be any movement by hand. I snapped the smaller gear of the basket last year along with breaking a tooth off the idler gear just from kick starting the bike. I would say time for a new basket and or get an aftermarket basket.
With the broken spring positioner I feel that the irregular pressure it caused has allowed the plates to grab the worn fingers at an unusual place making them snap off.
