That's kinda the way I'm leaning. Maybe put some shoulder bolts in them for extra safety. My custom damper should be here tomorrow so I have been trying to figure out how to stack up all the pulleys on it. A friend of mine told me about a guy that just opened a new fab shop about 20 miles from me. He said he would do small jobs while I wait if I call ahead. Everyone else around here wants 2 weeks to make a spacer. He also races. Does machining sheet metal, tube bending and welding. I have a tube bender but I don't trust my welding on anything important like brakes.
