We opted to drill through both sides of the box section and weld some 10mm threaded bar in place. You will also notice a black strap that is in the centre of the tank. This is our "belts and braces" approach to add a bit more piece of mind.
The tabs that hold the fuel tank on are just welded at 90 degrees to the side of the tank. I have every confidence that these will never give way, but if for any reason they do, the tank will just fall straight out of the bottom!
The strap is a seat belt from the XJ40 donor, so is very low profile but strong, so should just add that extra security (just in case!).
