Cool mount, that will work great.
You could dial the wire feed back a fair bit and not have all those blobs everywhere. All your welds are like that, it would really help the appearance of your work. Not saying its weak or anything, just appearance.

Thanks for the tip But it's welded with a stick welder And I'm not the best at it I think I will stick to the mig It looks bad in the photos than it is

Yes I wanted to use the old stick welder Just for fun to see if I could still do it I can well not very good Plus There was not much room for me to use the mig
I Only got one good shoulder and could not do it/ get in the right angle to do it with the mig
PS I'm still a learning how to weld I can weld strong but don't all ways look to good Have only learn from books and from TV

upside-down welding with a stick (for fun) and a bad shoulder....that's about what it will look like I guess! I was just trying to coach you a little, thought it was MIG. Would have been easy to turn the wire down a bit and see better results. Keep at 'er! TJ brackets are hard as fawk to line up, they are angled in 3 planes. Notice that? not straight to the axle, horz, or vertical.
