Have you thought about making a bracket out of some 5mm plate that looks like this at all? Remove all the blocks/brackets around the nose fit some 3/4-19mm round stock with 12mm through holes in the 18-19mm holes in the nose and use M12 bolts.

That was the kind of thing I had in mind

Was worried about vibration from the diff till I remembered the book build diff is hard mounted to the chassis
