Cut the stops for the pins on the top rail, and cut a relief in the middle of the bottom one so the forks can be removed/installed.A stick of 1/4x2 flatbar should make the outside frame of the backboard, which will also help to stiffen the whole framework, run it from the bottom outside of the quicktach plate to however high you want it, probably no more than 40" or so for visibility.Once you have the dimensions of the forks and plates, it should be easy to sketch up the design, it's fairly simple as projects go.Al always, once things are tacked up do a test fit and see if any changes need made, its much easier then.</blockquote>
