I made a thread years ago but it's now a dead link. I'll have to look on my computer for the plans. They are very simple to fabricate.

there is a link in one of the treads in this post; however, it does not work for me for some reason.

Kevin, unfortunately I do not have the specs. I can tell you that the channel iron is thin wall, 8" outside by 3". I'm not sure on the height though. Then just notch it to fit the frame. I'll keep looking though.

You can get an idea by looking at the photos on page one of this thread.

Kevin,

I would get with Marty regarding the May 16, 2016 reply he did for me. He had sent me a link to the trailer forum that had the specifications I think. The link looks to be broken now. Another alternative is to ask the moderator to fix the broken link. I took those specifications to a welding shop and had them fabricated. I then had to get the bolt types to use that I asked about further on down the thread.

I'm going to try to get under the M-100 after work this afternoon and make a dimensional diagram of the bracket mounts on my trailer and post it here.
