If 5-90 can come back from the dead, then so too can this thread.

How much variation is there in these brackets? Are the H.O. years all pretty much the same? Are there earlier versions that differ from later versions? Perhaps a change that corresponds to the '96 and later power steering/belt routing?
I pulled a spare '96 unit out of a junkyard at it looks like it is fairly easily supported from the back side. It just needs a correctly dimensioned piece of DOM tubing, long enough to get past the back of the bracket so that the DOM is reaching the base of the press rather than the back of the bracket. Is that typical of all (or most) versions of this bracket?
