Aluminum gear

I was having difficulty figuring out how you bolted the u extension on. Did you use a clamp? Or what did you bolt it through without drilling any frame members?

Factory method is to cut/grind the old ones off and weld the new ones into place.

I haven’t tried it, Bob figured out an alternate means, goal is to have a rigid frame there to attach fabric where the gear passes through.
 
It is a skinny U tube of steel. To weld it you would cut the legs, insert a tube of lesser diameter and a sleeve of the same diameter, and tack it with rosette welds. I just put a small machine screw in where the rosettes would go and locked it with epoxy glue. There really isn't much force on that little part.
No photos - want a sketch?
