I remember KOH rigs with that stuff.
Gonna reflect back on that pic you posted on Rush55's thread.
Unless you have better pics.

I had seen you mention UHMW. What is that?

Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene..

UHMW Archives

Buy UHMW plastic materials from Curbell Plastics. Shop a variety of high-quality UHMW or UHMW-PE sheets and rods that can be cut to size for your next project.

Really inexpensive at my local Plastic Supply and easy to work with using normal wood working tools

I used UHMW and glued it to the tank. I know that’s not hardcore enough for this group but it’s holding 2 years later.

Also I did not dismiss the idea of a skid but was thinking if it was going to be that heavy of concentrate on the back 3/4 of the tank.

UMHAW! Sorry just clearing my throat

You'll blow a shackle long before you drag your tank!

Doesn’t look very low-pro

 

[xtiaan2000]

This coming one will be low pro.

So I am thinking drill a bunch of holes on the floor of this thing, weld a bunch of nuts over those holes, and use that white stuff to create a pad on which the tank will sit, rather than on the nuts which are to attach the UHMW skid plate. Im thinking stuff a thin strip of the white stuff along the sides as well.
Weld it all together and then figure out the brackets to attach to the frame
What you all think?
I am thinking this is what Jmack was describing.

How much clearance should I leave on top. From what I’ve been seeing the iN tank pump is the way to go.
It would be nice to get this fitted and done rather than waiting tilI go and buy/install the tank pump.

I think that white bar was nylon.

weld a bunch of nuts over those holes,

Just drill and tap the angle iron for "1/4"-20 trailer deck screws" and cut off anything that protrudes past the angle iron after the UHMW is bolted on.

Looks great so far!

 

[xtiaan2000]

Great
I was thinking that the angle might be thick enough to tap!

 

[xtiaan2000]

Got a review in tapping. Bought counter sink bits!

Gas tray/ skid plate by Jmack... often heard amongst names such as MAngelo, Vangothe and other’s.

Good job X

How did you form that bend?

I was going to ask if you heated it to make that.

Looks great! Let’s get some scratches on it.
