Thank you for the kind words of encouragement, folks. Kalun, I hadn't yet figured out how to attache the end links to the bracket, but was thinking of welding two brackets on the top of the bracket through which I would install a pivot bolt and capture the end link in double shear. I was thinking of designing little slots on the top of the bracket along with corresponding tabs on the brackets. I was also wondering if I could just find the right piece of hardware that would allow me to cut a hole in the top of the bracket and mount the endlink attachment point to a bolt installed through the hole. Those two holes accept an 8 mm bolt; I did not intend to use long 8 mm bolts going through the entire bracket, rather, I was going install 8mm x 30 mm bolts to attche the bracket to the upright.

Thanks for the info on the clearances.
