Fuel Tank Guard

Hi guys, Quick question here.
I've just had a new MOT and they were going to fail me because I had a gaping rusty hole in my Tank-guard (Hadn't even realised it to be honest) but the whole thing is in a shocking state while the chassis is in top shape???
Second hand spares for these are VERY few and far between where I am (I'm now ex-Pat in Central Europe) so I'm going to whip it off, cut out the rot and weld a nice neat patch onto it. The vehicle is a RRs 2.7 (fabulous car).....but my question is does the guard also hold the tank there?
I can access all the securing bolts to take the think off but don't fancy the idea of a full tank landing on my head as I unscrew the last bolt.
Anybody else done this job?

Thanks in advance,

Mike Rolling Eyes Sheep

Yes, that holds the tank in place. New, they are £130 or so. Hardly warrants removing and repairing...

Mmmmmmm, thanks Mike - I had feared so. Been quoted 175 here hence the remove and repair idea. Maybe I'll run it onto reserve and have a bash.

Thanks,

(the other) Mike

Yeah biggest issue is that it holds the tank in place.
