No welding, I selected the 'horse-shoe front bracket with a rear tab (behind tank's end) allowing a tru-bolt 1/4 hardened (#8). 3" front, 2 1/2 rear. Be sure to isolate tank from frame with rubber gromets/ bumpers washers. I found rubber bumpers at Ace that allowed the 1/4" bolts to go thru with rubber grommets for the outside washers.
Allot of tanks styles offer top only tru-bolt tabs but you will need lateral bumpers under (on frame) to avoid lateral twist.
