Got the brackets mounted down. I put them at a downward angle, seemed easier to drill with the bracket resting on something. I can drill another hole so they are straight if that would be stronger.
I've got to get beefier bolts tomorrow, everything I had of good size was either too short or too long.

I'd have to admit, I'm slightly confused.
The vertical frame support is the only thing of any strength there is to secure that bracket to. And using the brackets they supplied that's the only way to bolt them down. I can run them straight, and not at a downward angle, that's no problem.

I'll check it out tomorrow and see what I can do.
Edit: I think that may work.

This is my first "big" project without someone fairly close by to look over my shoulder, or my pop in law with years of mechanic experience as well as a machinist.
But I'm making it, with your help
