Glue the pieces together that were left from cutting the cross brace, drill a hole the length of the marked hanger bolt smaller in diameter, centered in the glued block. This one is 1 1/2" x  2" x 6". Screw in the hanger bolt and shape the spike. The spike should fit flush to the cross brace.
  Burn and brush the spike and clear coat it.
  Put some contact cement on a scrap of latigo and on the bottom of the spike. When dry put them together and trim to fit. This makes a nice leather washer that insures a snug fit when threaded into the t-nut.
