I assume you have the 1/2" square 4130 tubing with .065 wall. I was
amazed you could get it in .065 wall. Usually it is .049 wall which
would be plenty strong enough for that part. Aircraft Spruce list
only .035 and .049.

the square tubing is 1", not 1/2" -- Needs to be 1" to provide proper
spacing for the ball rod end.

The traditional method is to use two tabs and a couple of gussets.
