Works like a charm.

then removed the threaded rod and tack welded the plate at the end of the box frame.

The other option is to use the bolt holes on the BOTTOM of the cam bracket instead of the side. Rather than using the self tapping screws,drill and tap for the bolts.


Last choice is to weld to the frame.
How about some photos?
