There area zillion ways of designing a bracket like this. This one uses
a couple of pieces of 1/2 by 1 inch rectangular 4130 or even 1010
mild steel electric welded tubing welded side by side. A large tube
is welded into it to form the proper support for the rubber bushing.
The fore and aft brace tube is not shown. I forgot to draw it in. :-)

 Paul,

    I might make a small suggestion about turning the mounting  bolts around
such that their heads are in the tube and the threaded end is on the
outside.  Besides being easier to put a cotter pin through the bolt {:>), it
would also be easier to get the nut threaded and also easier to do a visual
check of  nut.

Good suggestion Ed. Thanks.
