Transmission Carrier Question

You can weld in the frame horn link a couple of different ways but I decided to weld my link to the transmission carrier at the rear of the tranny that bolts to the frame horns. This will give me enough room for the suspension to compress while driving and have the axle not rub on the downtube.

Sandeep,

You said that you tied your frame horn links to the trans carrier. Do you have pictures of that? Did you fab your own carrier or are you using a stock piece? Are there any clearance problems to watch out for?

I would like to fab my own carrier and intigrate the mounts for the brace.
