I cut the old brake line bracket off the backing plate then welded that to the edge of the steering arms on each side:

sorry it took awhile but on mine just used a rubber padded wire clamp to one of the steering arm studs, used another nut to sandwich it between the existing nut:



seeing Roger's front hub reminds me that I need to get some of those centramatic wheel balancers sometime
