fuel cell mount
ok i'm looking @ this fuel cell
http://www.jegs.com/i/Aeromotive/027/18660/10002/-1 and am gonna mount under bed wood. not worried about how to fill just, best cage/ containment to mount cell. any suggestions appreciated. i've seen enough in-bed and strap mounts, that's not what i'm talking. more like if i were gonna drag/ road race safest best steel cage to securely hold, yet allow access to. i was thinking 1" sq tubing for cage and then some sorta bolt to frame setup but i'm not to smart.

Re: fuel cell mount
Unless I'm mistaken, the Aeromotive aluminum call has "L" brackets at the 4 corners to mount. It doesn't take a massive structure to hold 15 gallons of fuel. Even at 5 pounds per gallon your talking less than the weight of a 12 year old. The cell is covered as far as tech goes for protection from the track debris. You just need to fab up some tabs at the corners to bolt to. I used 3/4" square tubing and 1" angle iron. Supported the 'straps' at the front and rear. Been that way for 12 years of street driving and plenty of track racing. Still solid. Can't see much but here's a shot while under construction.
