Mine sits on the frame rails with the flanges, I made it so that the sump is below the frame rails.
I made the 45 degree edge at the bottom front of the cell for exhaust, the tailpipes wouldn't fit without it.
Are you thinking of an aluminum cell?

Here's a few pics for you. I had a custom alum cell made to fit where my plastic one was. it's about 15 gallons. Old brackets for the plastic 12 gallon cell.  I had some brackets welded to the alum cell so I could use the same tabs the straps used.  I don't have any good pics from the bottom. It's covered with a belly pan in the car. Here's a completed pic.

you made your own?! hmm...sounds cheaper than buying one for $200!
How thick is that metal? I don't have a tig, or any other set up to weld aluminum, could I make one from mild steel?
I used 12ga aluminum, I still have a large piece...... I don't have an aluminum TIG welder either, I just made all the pieces and went to a buddy of mine who has an aluminum TIG welder.
I didn't do it for cost, I wanted the biggest cell I could fit, and I wanted exact shape, dimensions, baffles etc..
I like Dragula's cell with the built in pump, I assume the pump would be quieter submerged...?

Here's what I did.....
The fuel cell mounting straps,I made from aluminum stock that I bought from Home Depot and bent them myself.The mail order shops wanted $25 for the same thing.Underneath the cell,there is 1" square steel tubing that the straps mount to,and they are the length of the cell.

I just used fuel tank straps, they go fore and aft bolted to a cross bar on both ends of the tank. I used what was handy, since I worked in the fuel lab thats what I used...straps both top and bottom sorry no pics EDIT Mine looks very much like Bigcubes
