Tubular rear motor mount bracket for 2nd gen front (car) covers.
Super simple.. much cheaper.. uses off the shelf parts from McMaster
Carr. Takes advantage of the tremendous strength in that 1/2 inch bolt
going through the 1/2 inch male shank rubber rod end.

Uses 1.25" OD .065 wall 4130 tubing from AC Spruce and extra thick (.190-.205)
high strength steel washers welded on the ends from McMaster Carr.

The 1 1/4 tubing OD is necessary so you can get a 3/4  socket in there
to tighten the 1/2 inch bolt and nut. It also has high bending
strength.

With minor mods it will fit the 12A front cover. Just use two
angles.

Not necessary if you are using a custom oil pan as the rear
motor mount bracket can be incorporated in the back panel
of the oil pan.
