Agree that that is easier to fab up... Just curious (and I am curious) how to get enough "meat" on the threaded portions for the mount - the nuts that are mounted to the structure of the vehicle.
It looks like the 9000 cars probably had the mount fabbed up with nuts welded onto the sheet metal brace before the car was assembled.
Good luck with the project. I am sure your crew will come up with a robust design.
