Looks good. If anything I would say put a wheel on and see if you need to trim the bracket ear so it doesnt rin the tire.
Try a welding fab shop, they usually have smaller pieces laying around.
Good idea to mock up in what you have laying around. Also makes a great pattern to have should you or somebody you know wanna do it again.
