All the pics I see in this thread have the tank rigidly bolted to each frame rail. What if I decide to take a fast turn or if I jack one corner of the rear up to change a tire(or any other reason) and the frame flexes. With the tank rigidly attached, it would have to withstand these forces. Did anybody mount this thing with straps or rubber bushings etc. to isolate the tank from the frame flexing?
