Here's pic's of the rack-n-pinion. Normally a plate on the backside would be plenty for support. I made a box type bracket so it can't twist it's way to failure. I know the forces placed on the wheels thru our trails.I know there be plenty of you that won't approve of a PVC gas tank.I checked into PVC and gasoline as a solvent testing many years ago to find that the gas DOESN'T melt or expand PVC. I've made many over the years and NEVER had an issue, this is a 2.3 gal , it's 6" schedule 35 (thinwall), cost $ 22.00 total.
