The last photo shows the completed mc bracket ready for paint and install. The mc will be fastened to the bracket with grade 8 bolts, washers, and locknuts. An access door will be added above it in the cab floor.
If you use one of the vendor brackets, I recommend using 7/16 grade 8 bolts instead of the typical 3/8 that come with the kit. Verify the integrity of all the fasteners. You don't want anything coming loose running those tall gears!
I've probably got around $20.00 in bolts and 1/4" plate/angle in this, and all my time which is not worth much.
