Yea, I was going to fab my own set but you cant mount your front eye-let plates outside of the front spring perch like those illustrations show.
Basically you will need to build them like that but you will need to swap in new front spring bushings to accept the 3/8" in plate your adding inside the perch.

Also those rod ends aren't cheap.
I think i was quoted like 115.00 for the ones i needed. +material and time its almost as much as they cost right from Calverts.

However if you need any specific questions just let me know because i was VERY close to fabbing my own set up.
