RL, I was the same way with the heim joint and spacer and bolt, was not to liking. I am using a mustang 1" bore duel MC with a bracket that came with it. It is from ECI. I cut my original bracket and moved it towards the frame. This subject has come up before. Dad's 50 posted a photo of his MC bracket. His has been cut down . That is where I picked up the idea. I have tons of trouble with computers so I will not even try to post a photo. But if you look at Dad's 50's photos you can see what is needed. I have disks and drums the MC has a rear proportioning valve built in. A single standoff is in line for the disks. That way I did not need to worry about room for the proportioning valve plumbing. I missed my fill hole in the floor a little. Floor mat makes it look good.
