This site shows one way of doing it. Just cut a little into the cast housing to fit the slightly narrower YJ perch spacing.

Oops, I realized you were going SOA. I imagine the same principal applies, just with a new perch on the other side.

no biggy i am just wondering about this because the pumpkin on the bottom half is squared off because it was used as a spring plate so the u-bolt will have to be square and i am not sure if this is ok or if i need to grind it round, basically i just want to be sure before i screw something up like i always do, but i do thank you for the quick and helpful reply.........P III
