Rick sent me a diagram for his trans mount. I did not have all the items listed for his style but I did have 1.5 inch bar stock I could use. I need to relocate the mount bolt 1.5 inches aft and when I do this it puts the trans bolt overlapping the rear hanger bolt. What my thought is I can weld a plate betweew the two hangers and open up the aft mount hole to fit the rear trans bolt..

It would appear that this will increase (almost double) the stress on the rear bracket. I would reinforce the rear brackets to compensate. Perhaps even make a spacer block to bolt on top of the one you have there to fit snugly between the two brackets, and a through bolt to tie them together. I assume that this is to fit a non-stock engine with increased power and perhaps more weight. Even more reason to ensure the bracket won't fail.
