The boxes are done and at this point I have them mounted with 5 bolts: 3 use stock mounting points and the last two mount to a plate that's inserted through the spot where the stock taillight slipped into the rubber grommet (the plate has two nuts welded to it and the taillight box has two bolts in the bottom so that it sandwiches the sheetmetal). I don't see the lower two bolts don't really restricting sideways movement, they just keep the light close to the body and are meant to prevent the lights from pivoting. I was going to use nutzerts in the middle and bolt through the iside (remove the light and put the bolt through the back wall) but without putting some sort of a spacer in between (body is concave in that area) I don't think it would do much good (and even with a spacer I don't think a long bolt would do much good in there). Any suggestions on how else to mount it to stiffen things up?
Here's a few pics (haven't taken pics of the lower mounts specifically as I just finished working on it and as you can see in the last few pics, it was too dark to really see anything):
