Optimally for support ... the bearings blocks over lap each other on opposite sides
of the saddle making it impractical at best to bolt on the bearings.


If the bearings have a square base, drill out two (diagonal) of the four threaded mount holes;
bolts from below into the NE and SW holes, and from above into the NW and SE holes.
