Default L13 Tailwheel reinforcement

Has anyone ever come up with a way to strenghten the connection of the brace
(tube)connection ahead of the tailwheel where it connects to the underside skin
joint on the fuselauge? Seems very light for all the abuse it may experience
without some reinforcement plate.

If yes, any documentations?

Thanks. Michael

Please be gentle if I am wrong about this, but I seem to recall that at
least some L13s originally had tail skids. If that is so, there may be
various tail wheel conversions out there; some presumably better than
others, and some legal and some not.
