You are correct on the fitment of that bracket right now. The right side fits a little better than this one on the left. Going to work this bracket a little and see if we can get it to fit a little better before making any mods.

Wow, you would have thought that would have backed off by now if it was going to. I'd think the fine thread helps it to stay put also.
