What I did was remove the body, flip it over and fabricated new ones out of
a structural steel called "unistrut"...this is a very strong channel shaped
steel that has slots spaced every couple of inches or so. I cut and laid
the pieces directly on top of the old (barely there in some places and
non-existent on other places)channel. I tack welded it together (no solid
welding yet so as to avoid heat warppage) then welded it to the tub; again
skipping around to avoid heat warppage. I was having fun welding and
teaching my son how to weld so we probably welded too much but 1 inch of
weld then skip 3 or 4 or 5 inches would probably be sufficient. You may
have to drill some holes depending on how the holes on the unistrut fall in
relation to the mounting points on the frame. Good luck.
