You can use a small model aircraft fuel tank. It normally has three pipes coming through a rubber bung which forms an airtight seal. I blocked one pipe with solder as it wasn't required.

I can't remeber the thickness of the aluminium on that version of combatant but as it was a chassis it does't matter. The wheels were completely outside the aluminium and it was only about 12 to 15mm deep which would not protect much of the 50mm hight. The sole use of the aluminium was to provide a ...

Dominant has three 2mm aluminium wedge shape tines at the front which are what passes for a weapon.
