Roll-bar stays and fuel tank supports

For the roll-bar stays I have made a piece to divert the forces in case of an accident. The piece is made from angle iron 50 x 50 x 5 mm and it is fully welded onto the lower part of the chassis. This will provide ample strength. The back-stays are made to snugly fit onto the upper roll-bar and onto the load dividing piece.

Because the car needed to be flipped over for fully welding the stays, I took the opportunity to weld the fuel tank support strips as well. It was still unlclear which tank was going to fit in there, so I made the supports as big as possible.
