It started because my wife is a bit short one end and then I had to protect this as well. One of three long range tanks. 250 litres in total.

OK, so I creased the side step, but aluminium checkerplate should hide it.

It would want to be spotless and have no mig tails in there.... getting it clean would be near impossible.... and if you filtered it, how many filters will you block b4 it becomes clean???

I have some of this stuff I have used before for the same thing. Works well if the preperation is done correctly.

I like the look of them there sliders/steps :D

You didn't happen to draw plans did you?

Plans, what are they? PPPPPPP doesn't work for me. Here's a couple more photo's of mounts that may help if you want to DIY. I have removed or cut some of the original body support bracket on the chassis, but all of these can be returned to standard if I ever take the sliders off.


Middle mount on drivers side. I have used angle this side because of the auxilliary tank mount and it's a bit of an over kill on bolts, but it wont fall off. Passenger side I used 75 x 50 RHS and bolted both side.

The rear mount is angled slightly down to clear the body and a gap is visible to allow the mount to drain.

Front mount uses the standard body mount bolt with plates both sides of the chassis and 2 bolts in each plate each side of the chassis.
