Hello stranger!
Can't remember if there was a specific thread on it, but I just welded small tabs to the side of the axle clamps, with matching ones on the axle tubes. They stopped it rotating or sliding sideways in the clamp.

I notched the back clamps and welded corresponding lugs to the tubes.
No reason not to weld the back clamp plates to the axle, once you are sure the axle is positioned correctly. Just be cautious if using the original Reliant tubes as they are very thin. A couple of good tacks will do it and easily ground off if need be.

would it be strong enough to tack the u bolts to the clamps around the axle then tack lugs on the axle to stop it moving in the clamps?
also will tacking the u bolts weaken them too much as there high tensile.

Forgot that you were using u bolts. No you shouldn't weld these.
Really should weld pads on the tubes, same as when fitting an axle to a leaf spring.

No problem in using copper pipe. Solder compression olives to the ends to stop the rubber pipes sliding off. Why cover it ?

28mm might be better more water flow to the rear plus it may be a better size for the rad hoses |

cheers Stinky,
i did send off a few year ago over the paper work to be told later it was all lost and as i didnt send it recorded there was nothing i could do. i recently had to change the body details on a pick up, from a refrigerated box to a pick up, done it before when i made a couple of car transporters, relatively easy and now i can send the forms by email so dare say i may have another go at registering this. paperwork was never a strong point.
like Andy said on the pop thread, its like being retired at the mo. one business completely shut down,other one requires very little of my attention and the local council have very kindly given me a rather easily attained grant as i have business rates on a depot i have for storage. i do have colleagues however that are struggling so its nice to help them where possible,not easy when were not supposed to meet or travel.
