I decided on mounting the watts right to a custom made HD new diff cover....

I came up with a few different "idears" for the Watts mounting at the pumpkin.

The first was to build a center mount off of the existing bolts....using 1/4" X 1" flat around the perimeter of the cover, welded together (or cut out a pattern out of a large plate), then build off of that. Kinda like this....

The second was to use spacers and long studs off the cover and build off of that.

So instead I decided to build an entire NEW rear-end cover out of 1/4" plate.....this would serve to hold extra gear oil, and a SUPER sturdy mounting point for the center pivot for the Watts.

Here are the build pics.....
