SORRY never came back to check this thread, never too late


To fabricate the bar is a joke, i used a 3/4 diameter aluminum bar, used a file to make 2 flats at each end to facilitate drilling 7/16 holes and so that the 3/8 X 2 inch screws and lock washers sit on a flat surface, then i removed the existing metric screws on the triangular plate and installed the bar over it.

With all materials on hand this is a 45 minute job max.
If you have any other questions I'd be glad to help.
