Sorry to make you wait doc. So, here's the rest.
I plugged the open voids near the front of the tender shell with some old plastic sprue. This will give me something the drill and screw into in order to hold the new cisterns onto the tender frames. I will be drilling through the frames and installing screws from underneath the tender. This will allow me to remove them in kind of the same way that the stock ones did.
In this pic I have added the new grabs to the front and sides of the tender shells using some .015 brass wire.
