Here's a few pictures of the bracket I fabricated to support the back of my seat brackets and to support the cutting brake assembly. I'm using the supplied Beard seat bracket, modified in the rear. This bracket ties into the 3" lift kit made from 2x3 rectangular tube, and through the floor on either side of the control tunnel.

A total of 19 pieces make up this assembly of 1x3 retangular tube and 3/16" steel.

I didn't like how the seats laid back, so the bracket helps tilt them forward somewhat. Tabs on the rear of the Beard bracket had to be cut off and moved to a "pigeon toed" position.

There is also some latitudinal stiffness that is a side effect of this installation
