Thank you everybody! You guys know everything. The photos really help.
Now the question is how much the inner fender of a 47 coupe will interfere. I will have to go out and take another look at my inner fenders. If putting a spacer between the mount and the frame will give enough clearance that seems to be the way to go. The alternative that flathead48 used is what I was going to try before I saw that my axle already had the mounting hole. I think those towers go up higher though so I will have to check the inner fender clearance again.
It is nice that a couple of you do have some useful "inventory" for this conversion too.
I will be back.
