Umm, theres a 3 inch gap between the frame rail and the bracket.  Between
the two (tibe and frame) is also the plastic coolant pipes.  No way that
the bracket can fit flat against the frame.  Anyone else????


Ron (coyote), Cary, Derek, Bud????  Anyone else.

Carey, it's warm in Texas, maybe you could look?  Yeah, I know Bud, it's
MinneSnowta and cold, but?? you're at least in the same town here?  I think
Brad's out inn Burnesville, but I think he sold his a year ago.

ANSWER from Rainer
The original bracket bolts flat to the frame.  It has two wholes though,
and only one of them results in a nice alignment with the shift linkage.
