try taking a straight, flat and strong peice of metal or plastic. drill a few holes in it and through your plastic. bolt, zip tye, screw or watever you can do to keep the braces on the plastic and away from your tires. just think and try to make watever shape brace will work the best to strengthen the plastic.
