[DeTomaso] Techno question: Rear Jack Plate

[cengles at cox.net]

Dear Forum,


                 I have heard about permanently affixed rear jack plates 
for a long time.  Mostly, I seem to recall them in Hall Pantera 
catalogs.  I have never actually seen one.

                At present, I have my drivetrain out and the motivation 
to affix a rear jack plate.   I have an appropriately sized 1/2 inch 
thick slab of aluminum.  After inspection, I would expect to drill a 
couple of holes through the rear cross brace, but I wonder if there are 
any *better* methods to fasten the jackplate into position??

                              Curious, Chuck Engles
