Absolutely correct, SBC.
I have a template that is quite similar to the Speedway kit and two different style mounts for the center pivot. One mounts on the rear of a 9" Ford housing brace (I use a full length rear brace on all my big horse stuff), and the other mounts off three of the bolts that attach the center section to the housing. On street cars I usually use aluminum tubing (7075 T6) for the tubes, it's light and strong for straight line loading and looks great when polished up!!!!! Take a look at the kit Speedway offers, and get that new plasma arc to work!!! I would recomend either 1/4" or 5/16" plate for the center pivot and frame rail mounts and of course grade 8 for attachment hardware..... On my big horse stuff, I make all the frame bracketry and center pivot out of chrome moly plate. Probably a bit of overkill, but I hate breaking things!!!!!!Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, Live for Today!

Learning must be difficult for those who already know it all!!!!
Ditto on the model kits! My best were lost when the Hobby Shop burned under suspicious circumstances....
