It has been pointed out to me that you can use the later 83 style mounts
which are cheaper and larger. You easily modify them to work by either
filling the horizontal mounting hole with JB Weld and then drilling it out
for the smaller pre-83 bolt or enlarging the mounting slots on the frame and
use larger bolts/nuts. I think I paid about $45 ea. for the 83 style.
