Cross Member for M41 in Automatic Wagon 120-130

In order to free up space in my garage so I can proceed with shooting primer on my 544 project, I needed to hang the tail of the M41 I swapped into my BW35 wagon. The cross member for the M41 sits about 3 inches forward of the BW35 cross member. I have seen some photos using angle iron, but I can not seem to find them when I search. Is this the best solution?

I tried using angle iron today, but found the angle iron I had around the house was too flimsy to support the three inch extension and it interfered with the brake line / fuel line hold down clamp that is near the driver side mounting location. Also, I can not seem to find the mounting bolts in my box of labeled parts bags. Does anyone know what size bolt I need for the cross member?

I believe all the bolts used on the crossmember are 3/8"-16 UNC, fairly short.
The mount itself has 7/16"-14 UNC threads. The bolts that mount the mount to the tranny are also 3/8"-16 UNC.
