Brian, and anyone else viewing...
I think the Blind Moose Fab conversion is very poorly designed. Far too
many small welds connecting too many pieces of metal, and that top plate and
its welds are highly stressed.
This is a far better design:
http://astro.temple.edu/~kmr/tr6/shock-bracket.jpg
It has fewer sectioned pieces, a continuous long weld seam and the bracket
is quite a bit more rigid in operation than the Blind Moose design would be.
Unfortunately, the weld splatter was not cleaned up before they were
painted... so appearance on these brackets is not that great, but
considering where they are located and the grime that will likely accumulate
anyway, I did not bother to clean them up.
AFAIK, these are the single piece Moss brackets. I will double check that
tomorrow before I provide a part number.
