Wow, that's the first time I've seen the fuel tanks just by themselves. It looks like just four mounting points, one on each corner, maybe a couple of bolts for each one. Amazing it doesn't bow down in the center with a full load of fuel.

Neat shots, Marty!

If I recall coorectly, the fuel tanks usually have baffles, which double as stiffeners inside, its a bit of a honeycomb, top/bottom and side/side
