In the photo, if you look really close, you can see the knee on the right, the chainplate (painted white and...

More info

Larry, I didn't get a chance to pull the bolts, but I'll be interested in opinions once the picture is posted.

Looking at the installation now, I'm not sure but what the backing plate may be...

Thanks for the suggestions

Thanks for the response.
