Bob,
Did you look into using some sort of metal strapping with a threaded end on one or both ends ? I am thinking of straps we see holding on LPG tanks on forklifts, or even the old-fashioned straps holding gas tanks in cars. I was thinking they might be easier to have follow any tank contours and also being able to anchor them closer to the neutral center of the chassis beams. Just curious.
