I can't see the outside shear bracket that you mention, Steve. If you look at that last picture, your new piece provides the inside shear plate, where the bolt head resides, then the bushed insert and a washer & nut on the outer end, where I would expect to see another vertical mounting shear plate to sandwich the bushed end of the ladder bar. There's an access hole cut in the wall of the frame, allowing clearance for the ladder bar end, but I can't see any outer support welded to the frame in these pictures. Am I missing something?

That's what I thought initially, but then when you said, "...if you look carefully you will see...." I thought I must be going a bit crazy, or blind....
