Start of my crane truck project

I have listed a Hian knuckle boom in the classified for any of you guys looking for one.

Looks like the Hiab maybe sold. I will be installing it on another Steel soldiers truck.

Got a question about how I attached the Hiab to my frame, so I decided I would upload some images of the CAD model.
Here is the overall lay-out of the crane chassis attached to the framerails. Framerails are in orange/pink, spacers in blue, crane chassis in black.

And here are the brackets I had made. The thin one mounts on top of the crane base. The thicker one mounts below the frame. Measurements are in mm, the international standard.

What was the question?
