bighornram: Here's a photo of what I fabbed up ... 2.5 square tube / 1/4" endplates and gusset (wirefeed welded) I guess all 3 cross beams give extra peace of mind, but I think the center cross beam is the most important and adequate. I don't remember the exact bolt length, but they were slightly longer than the ones that came off the Mor Ryde. New locknuts were also used. Just a side note ... while you're under there if there are extremely deep cracks (better than 3/4" deep) in the Mor Ryde rubber mount, they should be replaced.

AWSOME!
Thanks for that great post! Just back from an 800 mile round trip to Phoenix (yes, you guys in Phoenix, I brought the winter weather with me). It should heat up nicely now.

That was several years ago with lotsa brain cell loss, but I'd guess it was 1/8" or possibly 3/16" wall. Maybe a bit stout, but it was what happened to be available at the surplus yard store in Wichita when I went looking. When the X factor first came out it was a bit pricier than now, so I fabbed my own as it was then cheaper.
