Aitch,
I made them out of some 1 1/2" x 3/16" steel strap... I used a bendall to copy the bends then heated the straps with a torch and bent to shape, I put 90 degree flats on each end to run 3/8" bolts through them to hold.
I can shoot some pics if you would like to see it..
Let me know
I just didn't like the idea of having that long bolt with a hook on the end on a 30K restoration--know what I mean.
