I tried a new truck design and need some help, pls look at the instructions at
the URL:

Step 3: shows the air tanks attached to the 1x2 single stud plate however...

Step 6: shows a 2x4 plate "covering" the 1x2 single stud plate but it does not

bottom of 2x4 plate is about 1/2 a plate, thus allowing the air tank to simply
lift out :(

Anyone have an idea how to wedge it in, with out mutilations...
