I also made these brackets that will
be welded to the rear-end housing. These are made out of mild steel 1/8"
thick and have 3/8" diameter holes. There will be two per side.

Here you can see the adjustable link
that will attach to the brackets. The other end goes to the new arms and
bolts on with a with a 3/8" flathead screw. The main thing when
welding on these brackets is to make sure the link assembly is straight
up and down when finished. If the arm is at an angle, no problem but the link has to
be vertical.

This is the first of the two brackets
that gets welded on. I had to weld the inside of this one because you
can see how much is in the way on the other side. The second bracket
gets welded on the outside.

Here is the link assembly that will be
held in place by the two brackets. Notice the paper on the bolt. This is
card stock and is about .012" thick but is being used as a spacer.
Now that the first bracket is in place, it's time to locate the other
bracket with the link and paper. This way things fit easily.
