I think aluminum might be a better material to use if you are going to attach it directly to the suspension parts. You can do simple one dimensional bends and then bolt it in place. I haven't done this myself but am seriously considering doing it on some parts of shock brackets on rear of my Insight Gen1.
If you have convenient holes, you could use T anchors, those spring loaded thingies that are pushed through holes in drywall to provide shelf anchors, etc. I've done this on my car in places where I only had a large hole to work with. You can also find "edge" brackets in the automotive hardware section. These push over an edge and have a screw thread internally. (You have to drill a hole to get the bolt in.) I don't much like the edge brackets which only allow a screw to be used because screws can come out and puncture someone's tire. Zip ties are good. If you have a flat surface and are willing to drill a hole, the plastic 2 piece "pop" fastners work well and don't rust. Lots of options
