to the op.. no need to weld fittings to a plate.. there is a premade pressure / return clamp that holds 2 hoses with qd's, and has a tab on it with a bolt hole for mounting... but as said.. you are really trying to fix a problem that don't exist. forget the valve.. the shorter stub hose and 2 more qd's solves the issue and you just plug those together at the valve to complete the circuit, and the other hoses you leave on t he backhoe, plugged together when not in use to keep em clean..
