9" Rear shock mounts

What did you guys use to mount the shocks when you installed a 9" in a 53? The original mounting bracket does not fit the 9" tube. I modified the originals but am wondering if there is a part available that fits the application.

Hi

I bought the shock mounts from Mid Fifty. If I were to do it again I would just make my own.
