Thanks to all who responded.  I should have said there is no engine or
tranny in the tub.  I'm trying to make a roller out of it.  I'm going to
try the long bolt strategy that several of you mentioned.

As to the brake hose lock plate, Contact me off list if you have one you
can part with.

Cheers!!
Jim
