make up some brackets that weld or bolt to the chassis rails.

you can also brace them back to the body mounts as well for extra strength.

I made my own rocksliders for catflap. The main body is 100 x 50 x 4mm steel. The front bracket is made from 5mm steel and the bulkhead bolt passes through this bracket at the front. I made a bracket at the rear out of 3mm steel that utilises the fuel tank outrigger bolts to support it.

Les. :)

Pics with any luck!
