OK it's time to build the bracket for the fuel cell, I located some 1 inch square stock, and, using the cell as the template welded up the bracket. I used the cell as the template since they are never perfectly square, this way I can fudge some of the holes in the brackets.



I had to "massage" the hole in the cell's box for the plate..



Once everything was mocked together, I used some 1-1/2 inch bolts, redrilled the holes through the cell box, and through the bracket. I then welded nuts on the brackets. This was because it is a PITA to access both the nut end and the bolt end when the unit is in the car.



This is what the complete unit looks like, ready for paint and installation



I've just been informed that my cage has arrived.............
