Here is an image cliped from a photo I took yesterday.  The upper and
lower attachments are made from 4130 square tubing with tabs welded on.
The nut in the center was drilled out then welded on so that I could
adjust the length with a wrench.  There is a lock nut on the right hand
threaded side.

I though I could post a picture of my rear mount, but it seems to be
lost in the many gigabytes on my hard drive.  Basically it is a 1/2"
rod with the rubber cushioned rod ends as described by Jerry.  The
upper mount point was bolted to the two tabs on the front cover (I
don't think all front covers have them).  The lower end is connected
to the bottom of the firewall where there used to be a nose gear
attachment point.  In other words, I'm pushing up from the bottom
instead of hanging down as shown in Jerry's photo.
