Do the bolt patterns of those braces line up with the Monte?? I know I looked at some braces in the past and thought "they might fit" and the end result was the pattern was way off.

If they do fit, well, game on!!

Good score Frank! Hope they are a bolt-on or don't require too much modification in order to fit.
