I'm sorry to reply this way, but I wouldn't trust that board for nothing; especially on utah roads. If it splits your motor is coming down hard.
you are applying pressure on it with the strap, add rough roads ( oh man). if you have a friend that can weld like you say, see if he can do some more little welding. get more all thread that fits into a pipe. weld together a large wing nut with handles and add a large washer. weld two u shaped cups on one end of the pipe and one on the threaded rod. glue some rubber inner tube on the u shaped bracket that cups your lower motor unit. the best thing too is, add a spring over the threaded rod surrounded by another large washer that goes between the pipe and wing nut. this will help with the bumpy roads. I like the ingenuity, but you need to plan for the worst and hope for the best....
I know money is tight for us all, but I found this on E-bay for 70.00. some times it is easier to spend alittle to save time and money. by the money spent on rod and pipe and welding it could be worth it. I just don't trust the board with the grain running length ways. sorry for being a buzz kill
