Hey, here's how I made minein my Lux. 1.6mm zincanneal Tig welded. Obviously the pick up had to be modified also, for this I cut the ends of it off and brazed a copper pipe bent to suit to them.

Yeah mate, with the Marks kit the mount hung down far too low and on up travel the arms really caned the bottom of the mount. I ended up cutting up the mount and completely redesigning it. Hopefully the pic shows how.Image
