I cut a piece of 8mm wall thickness square steel to 50 mm long, then sliced it diagonally to have a tapered bridge. This sits on my siderail and welded on. To prevent the heim joint flexing on the mount I drilled out a large nut and welded it to the bridge mount, insert heim thru it with nut top and bottom. If you find the thin 'jam' nuts hard to source try your local Caterpillar spare parts place. Easier than cutting nuts in half.
