My photo serving is stuffed right now so I uploaded a couple pics as attachments. My brackets are lighter angle that went under the frame rail; a slot was cut to accommodate the radiator support. The square tube is welded on the bottom of the bracket in front of the radiator support, as far forward as possible so the jack could fit and the handle turned.
The
trailer jacks had the swivel attaching section removed so only the bracket welded to the jack tube remained, and the larger square tube welded to the bracket; that provided enough offset so the handle could be turned (the radiator and hood latch/supports are all off the car too). It seemed like a good idea, letting me combine jacking and movability, but those cheap jack casters resist rotating a lot. If I'd used heavy angle iron like what you all used it would have been fine. It may still work to tie the two jacks together with a crossmember. And I do have some 3/8" steel plate that is about the right width to match the bracket sides. If I cut two lengths, drill the two bolt holes each to match, and use it as a reinforcement (just using the bolts since i don't have welding options right now) it would likely be enough. I'd really like to keep the jacking option if possible.
Thanks for responding.
I need a welder and a place to weld, darn it (HOA disallows welding here...)
