You can kinda see what I did in my build on page 2. I pulled them to the forward position and drilled some new holes. Get some nice thick grade 8 hardware (i upsized my bottom bolt and enlarged the lower holes) and some nice beefy washers and nylocks. Its tough, but if you have a friend hold the nylock and washer in place with a wrench from the bottom, you can drop the bolt in from the top and mount it down.
I chose to weld the top of my perches just because I didn't want to deal with drilling more holes etc etc.
