HELP!! SUMP LEAKING

[eli@fijireefrock.com]

I am not sure but couldn't you have 2 pieces of wood cut at a 45 degree angle each end and have them extended 1/3 of the way from the center bracing to the sides of the stand and have them screwed permanently,then remove the center bracing.
Just a thought and i am in no means a woodworker(i know there is another word just cannot find it in my head)
