Appreciate all the great feedback and ingenious ideas to reduce the prying moment.
That first fastener is a CR7773S-04 blind cherry Ti maxibolt rivet which has a tension allowable of 600lb. The margin of safety on that fastener is very tight after doing the math in its raw configuration. I did...

Apologies, I could only seem to attach one at a time.

Thanks for the great feedback.
After looking at it, I agree the most conservative way to analyze it is to assume all the load is reacted by P1.
I have attached a detailed picture of the actual structure that I am analysing.
As you can see there are two types of prying going on... the one we...
Thanks for your speedy reply SuperStress.
The bracket is 0.040" thick 301 1/4H stainless steel.
The load, P = 388 lb.
As it is a relatively small load and the bracket is made of 0.040" thick steel, I would assume it is more on the stiff side?
I have attached a simplee FBD pic.

Hello all,
I was wondering if you could help me with a question on prying load calculations.
Flabel and all of the examples I've seen so for prying in a simple tension clip (bracket design) only consider one fastener. The classic prying calculation is shown here:
