I made my own beam plates the last time I had the C-beam out. I bought some 1/4 inch steel plate strips from Lowes and used my electric angle grinder to cut them into shape. I drilled some holes in the plates and them used the factory bolts and nuts to bolt the plates to the beam. I took the whole deal to an exhaust shop by my house and asked them to weld the factory nuts to the plates I made. Since everything was bolted together when they welded the nuts on, I didn't have any problems installing the new plates because everything was already located. They worked great, and they were worth the time/trouble just based on the fact that I can do the C-beam bolts now without getting a wrench to the top side. I can hit them with my electric impact and have them in and out in a couple minutes.
