The Channel S-beam gives us the ability to put the Barry mounts
anywhere we want.  There might be some real advantages available.  It
needs to be studied.  In my little illustration the ends of the beam
are adjusted vertically.  Of course the beam ends  could also be
forward or backward.  Just a miter cut and a weld.  Also,  could not
the Berry Mount weld bushing be above the beam instead of below it.
We need all the options we can get when working around the exhaust.

OK here is a couple of 3Ds. It will clear just about anything we can throw
at it with only 25 inch centers. 29 inch centers ought to be fine.
IF you are planning an under the engine rad AND a conventional bottom
exhaust one might want to narrow the centers and go outside the tubes 
and down past the side of the rad. Not a good way to do it.
Better to use an internal muffler and a side exhaust.
