Default 12 bolt torque arm mount

Anyone successfully re-engineer their torque arm mount to the housing? Something that moves the mounting location away from the pinion. I was searching and found that the 9” Moser has what looks like an intermediate piece that bolts to the housing away from the third member and the t.a. mounts to that. I also saw a diagram of the buick GNX 10 bolt that used a torque arm but it mounted to what looked like a cast iron rear cover.

I have never seen a custom 12 bolt torque arm mount. The Moser 9" is unique with the metal chunk that bolts on for sure.

Why do you want to do this?

Well, ever since I installed my 383 M6 with a twin disk I have been having a bad time with my 12 bolt getting real loud after launching the car. After some searching I found this problem is not uncommon. It never did this with my heads and cam 350 and a single disk clutch. Some here suspect the 12 bolts mounting provisions stress the housing near the pinion. Thought I'd try something different.
