I hear you! The genius of the M151 family is its unibody, but that is also its weakness. The image I posted about requires a solid rear attachment point. Mine is a little suspect. So, an early work step will be to rebuild enough of the rear, especially where the pintle mounts, so we avoid exactly what you warn of.

Someone else's project but noted as a caution of the simplicity of the construction.
