Aluminum Tank and Mounting advice...

So a couple of pictures... I have the rear notch in from porterbuilt... mounting my boyd tank and having some challenges... so I'm think about putting a piece of plate under the aluminum tab of the tank (which I wish was an inch wider on both sides... I want to run a piece of plate across the top and use that to mount the raised bed to in the rear...not sure if sandwiching this aluminum is a good idea or not? I know the mounts the frame used to have this rubber spacers should I look to add those or just crank down on these 4 grade 8 bolts? thought about maybe mounting the tank a bit higher in some of my 1x1 tubing as well... thoughts appreciated...

Re: Aluminum Tank and Mounting advice...

With your holes that close to the edge, they will most likely crack and break out. I would add some more support there whether it be a piece of steel or a piece of aluminum.
