I gouged out a slot in some plywood, cut a length of threaded bar and rounded off the ends. I then put the plate over the plywood and bashed the threaded bar with a 4lb hammer. It was surprising how much it improved the stiffness. I've since built a press so could do it better now but I just use what I have to hand.Thanks - loving the little stiffening ribs pressed into them, by the way!
Can you slot those in without removing the tank cradle itself?
Yes they can be fitted without removing the cradle, You need to support the fuel tank while doing it so best wait until the tank is nearly empty.
