Sill water tanks

I'm not an engineer but I could see some longitudinal bracing being helpful. Maybe a couple of small triangles welded in between the arms and the tanks? Taking a hit on the leading face of the tank while traveling at speed might do more damage to the tank structure than landing on an obstacle at slow speeds. Just a thought.

Point taken, there are additional bracing point to be added once the form factor is finalised. As you know there is always a balancing act of strength versus weight. I suspect the tensile bolts will give way first. Your feedback is appreciated.

When do you expect to be selling them?

Just going through finalisation designs. There has been interest from a certain party that has changed some requirements (in good way). I will know a lot more after the weekend, as some discussions are being had on Saturday. I will make sure your are the first to know on the updates.
