You can install it in between the frame rails or even on top but it was designed to be hung from the bottom side of the frame rail with 2 bolts on each side.

She said to use 3/8 or larger to secure the tank
That's good enough then. They built the tank flange to support the components. Basically it's overbuilt vs an OE tank.

What tank p/n BTW?

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
