Ken,

I found this line drawing in my files and I'm pretty sure that the brace in Double Trouble looks like the one in this line drawing and is l_l shaped.

Rick,

Here's the photo:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3XquSIYjDleN2cydTlUMGpaZl9kaEdfNUZ2TklKQ3lCanA0/view?usp=sharing

Notice that the hex heads are parallel, so I measured 7-7/8" side to
same-side of those. The distance from the center of the outboard bolt to
the inboard side of the bearing bracket. Both of those, like the photo,
are from-the-creeper since the rack's preoccupied with a guest.

As Gary noted, the Eldorado's bracket has a tab to bolt the brace to; your
Olds' probably does not -- like the parts list you found.

Was I you, I'd probably probably bend the 90* on one end of a piece of bar
stock "just too long for the job", and bolt the brace to the bracket. At
the FD end I'd clamp it in place with a C-clamp for trouble shooting. If I
found a position that cured the problem, I'd mark and drill, cut, and bolt
the brace in that position. And hope.

JWID,

Ken H.

every reply when you don't. We do need a tidbit to remind us of what the
conversation was though. KH​
