<VV> Weight canisters

[Les]

Alignment for the rears should be no big problem, the two bottom bolts 
go into predrilled weld nuts on the corner filler panel, and the upper 
bolt has a bit of a slotted hole and the upper support rod can be 
swivelled on the canister so there is a lot of adjustment available.
