That latest (upside down) rendering looks like a good candidate for making
a casting, with the "Schertz/Chrissi beam" horizontal portion, the
vertical portion, and the standoff spacer portion one piece of aluminum.
You could cast small reinforcing gussets at the 90 deg. bends easily, and
eliminate several (at least 6) bolts into blind holes which presently
would have to be drilled and tapped.  And you could cast in the webs
instead of machining them.

Or forget it and make a bell housing casting with built in
rubber bushing holders.
