I got the water tank fitted, installed, welded and bolted up tonight. Not too bad.

First up was to make sure the water tank fit with room for the fittings... just kidding, I did that over a year ago. Then I cut a piece of 3/4" angle to keep the tank from sliding around front to back, I will add little spacers to keep it steady laterally.

I had some scrap hinge left over from my lids and came up with a neat idea. I basically made a removeable hinge out of a short section of the remaining hinge. This allows me to slide off the braces and remove the tank easily if I ever need to. I bet after a while the thing should be rinsed and cleaned out pretty good. I welded the little hinges to the lower brace, which was welded to the floor.
