Possible solution??
I think I have two possible solutions (short of obtaining and installing the original style rear fender assembly). I'm thinking of trying either the bracket that straddles the rear of the frame and mounts the upper lift or using an upper mount from an Original. I'm concerned that the bracket would hold the lift too far up under the fender pan to be functional where the Original mount would move it out from under the pan somewhat. This thing was definately Frankensteined together before I got it. I ordered the Original mount and if it doesn't work here I will use it on my 1961 Original to put a 3pt on there as well. If needed, I will get a correct rear fender assembly and go from there. Regardless, there are no pre-existing holes in the sides of the frame rails to mount the bracket so I will have to drill those. There are holes on the top flange of both sides to line it up. One way or another, this will work.
