It has been pointed out to me that you can use the later 83 style mounts which are cheaper and larger. You easily modify them to work by either filling the horizontal mounting hole with JB Weld and then drilling it out for the smaller pre-83 bolt or enlarging the mounting slots on the frame and use larger bolts/nuts. I think I paid about $45 ea. for the 83 style.
