Gusset and Tank Mount
So the booger weld at the neck is going to get refilled, but I have to address twisting of the frame which caused the break to begin with. Solution: Gusset.
I made a template to fit snuggly around the triangular shape of the neck.
Then transferred to some plate and roughed with the sawzall and trimmed the inside with the scroll saw.
Heated and bent the plate to fit.
A good amount of grinding to shape to fit. Note the tab to attach the front of the tank.

Next up is another gusset/mud shield.
