Jerry mentioned in an earlier post it is not done. He said he
will add a brace tube.

A 1/2" o.d. tube will be added to brace that point.  Also, the
bracket that is attached to the engine  is pretty beat up.   It was
"adjusted"  by heating in the forge and then beating it with my
biggest hammer.  This happened a number to times  as I kept changing
my mind between bracing to the horizontal tube or to the fire wall
which required a different angle.  Final version will be aluminum.

My two cents worth would be to mount it on the horizontal tube instead of
the firewall.  Less penetrations in the firewall. It would be done right.  I
don't mind beefing up the firewall for the bracket, but it is in a real
"busy" spot.
