Weeeeeel,

My Mk1 has this old school type bracketrey that runs across the back of
the core support and has a U bolt that loops over the front motor mount.

I'll take some pix (cool low end 'lost leader' digital camera cost $20
:), I don't care to have a web site up yet to post them to but I'll send
Ben some and anyone else who wants them.

Might help to add to the mix.
