Well here is what I came up with for my intermediate hanger.First, I had to cut out a convex shape to get a little more elevation, then I cut a slot for the metal strap to go up into, I plan to double up the strap to match up with the bracket thickness. Excess will be cut off of the bracket later. It looks thin on the right side of the bracket but it is not, I left the 90 degree bend on the top for added strenght. Drilled a 1/8" hole in the bracket at each end where I wanted the strap to go and cut out the center with a cutoff wheel. Now it just has to welded up...

Prothane sent the new sleeves, much better fit. Sleeve part number 60928, had to cut off .150 on the lenght

Opinions, comments welcomed please...
