Would you care to elaborate on this solution you came up with? I’d love to be able to do the same with mine for piece of mind.

Thanks and cheers on the thread
I used a hanger with a coating on it, for two reasons. It was the only one with the same thickness as OEM rod and also prevents rust/corrosion... Took a little bit of tinkering to get the right bends but this has been working for months without failure. I hope these pictures help with your build!
