Ok here is something I drew up. If using the FLM servo plate then it is real easy to do. All you will need is ome 2mm alum(or whatever you want to use) and a set of Hellfire fuel tank mounts from here and some misc. screws/nuts/washers.

Now as you can see from the picture, the rear alum plate I made is just a rectangle the width of the servo plate. As for the length I went back to existing holes in the servo plate to atatch it there and the other end hits right against the tranny case. Then drill a hole for the hellfire mount and the rear part is done. Now for the front you have to make a couple cuts due the front bulkhead. So I cut another rectangle piece then notched it for the bulkhead as you can see in the pics and went all the way against the shock tower. Now you don't have to be exactly against the bulkhead or shock tower. You can leave some room for play because you only use the middle part to atacth the hellfire mount. Drill a couple holes and atatch the alum plate. that's basically it for this. Anythin else you need just let me know.
Update: Finally turned the fuel tank around so the fuel pick up is in the rear. Easy to do, just re-drilled to new holes for the hellfire mounts and reassemble. Finished my throttle/brake linkages. Put an JP-4 pipe on using a piece of hanger. Installed a DX3.0 2.4 radio and finally got rid of the long antenna. I truely love this system. Now I can set all my EPA (end point adjustments) for the servos to save the life in them. Installed new dynamite alum shoes with mugen 1.0mm springs and a mugen nut. Installed a new con rod (stcok one had some slop in it) and sealed the back plate and carb all up and used green slime for the needles. And now I think that's it. Thanks for looking. Terry
