I agree that part is easy but getting the part where the bolt threads into might be tricky. Not sure how you can weld a nut in there. You can buy the braces with holes but nothing to mount the hardware to

Cut a little window in the side and tack it. Or cut the area with the hole out, weld the nut, then put it back on the square tube and weld it back together. Someone on here did it in his build thread, I'll see if I can find it.

I bought a really nice bed the other day and noticed that these are gone and no where to source them, I would be interested in one that are already fabbed if shipping and price are not outrageous.
